A unique act by the group Cirko Vivo called “ Genesis, El Viaje del Fuego,” (“Genesis, The Journey of Fire”) will continue to dazzle audiences this weekend at Café Britt in Barva de Heredia, north of San José.

During a recent show, dozens of performing artists elicited applause and cheers from the audience, seated in cramped rows of folding chairs facing an outdoor stage on the edge of Café Britt's coffee fields.

The human circus performance starts out quietly with slow movements of mimes and aerial dancers and gradually transitions into high gear with drumbeats, song, lights and fire, the show's main ingredient. Clown acts provide a touch of humor and serve as an introduction to the juggling acts. Near the end, the group of talented jugglers tosses dozens of fire sticks through the air in a flaming grand finale.

It is a show for all ages, whose visuals can be enjoyed regardless of whether the subtle storyline is understood. It can get chilly, though, so best to bring a jacket.

Performances are scheduled for tomorrow and Sunday at 7 p.m. For more information or to make a reservation, call 227-1600 or visit www.brittespressivo.com
