World-class roaming acts to bring signature F1 Bahrain Grand Prix entertainment to life at BIC
The Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix is well-known in the world of motorsport for its vibrant, festival-like atmosphere that can be enjoyed off the track at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC).
“The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East” spares no effort each year in putting together a fantastic programme of fun family entertainment for all to look forward to throughout the three-day race weekend.
This is no different in 2022, and among the attractions is a wide variety of roaming performers from all across the globe who are ready to put smiles on everyone’s faces this 18 to 20 March at BIC.
These colourful characters—who will be seen around BIC’s F1 Village vending area—include dancers and musicians, clowns and magicians, and many more kinds of charming acts.
The roster of much-beloved artists includes Abraham Thill, Aras Stilt Band, the Joker group, Colour Dancers, Dr Bubbles, Funky Style Band and Jam Batucada.
Abraham Thill is a professional street- and circus-performer who has been performing since 1999. His is an energy-packed street show that includes clowning, pantomime, comedy, object- and subject-manipulations, improvisations, magic and extraordinary, and mind-blowing Diabolo skills.
Aras Stilt Band is a combination of one of the best groups of percussions and of stilt-walkers. Their colourful outstanding costumes with big wings and beautiful music make them one of the most appreciated in Europe, inspired by the Aras colourful bird from the rainforest.
The Joker group comprises a team of funny and playful interactive clowns. They have travelled across Europe entertaining kids and the young-at-heart with acts that include fantastic circus skills, uni-cycling, juggling and stilt walking.
The Colour Dancers are charming stilt-performers in glowing colours with light-footed dances and comical interaction. They dance through streets, parks and rooms in ever-changing formations to all kinds of music.
Dr Bubbles is a flambouyant character who comes up with colorful creations through giant soap bubbles come in all shapes and sizes. These unique structures of water reflect the bright lights at BIC, making them shimmer in colours of a rainbow and bringing sparkling joy to all.
Funky Style Band is an innovative and captivating group in the panorama of marching bands. They maintain the effective format of the union between sound and movement, but reinterpret it in a unique way. They have eye-catching uniforms and they play and dance with the grit and enthusiasm typical of a respectable street band, but without forgetting the elegance of the Italian funky style.
Jam Batucada performs a fusion of rhythm, taste, colour and dance through Brazilian and Latin American sounds. Fans will feel the music explosion and freshness of the movements with the beats of a drum.
All this and so much more await all those attending this year’s F1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix.
The event is set to be an historic, once-in-a-generation occasion for motorsport, as it ushers in “A New Era” in F1 following the biggest shake-up in F1 rules and regulations.
There will also be loads of racing, as F1 will be joined by the FIA Formula 2 Championship, the FIA Formula 3 Championship and the Porsche Sprint Challenge Middle East.
To add to the roaming performers off the track, BIC’s spectacular entertainment programme will be highlighted by the back-to-back concerts on the Friday night of the race weekend, 18 March, when globally renowned DJs Don Diablo and Afrojack will take to the stage for separate live performances
