Zip Zap Circus is a uniquely South African social and professional circus family filled with hope, promise, daring dreams, and extraordinary talent. When an opportunity presented itself to get involved, Big Box Containers zipped through the air on an imaginary trapeze bar to help make a big difference.
Zip Zap was established by South African-born Brent van Rensburg and his French wife, Laurence Estève. Their dream was to use the circus as a tool to bridge socio-economic gaps. Through circus arts, they inspire and empower young people from all walks of life to pursue their destinies as they create opportunities, unlock potential and transfer skills for life.
The Zip Zap Circus Academy’s outreach and youth programmes are offered free of charge to all participants, with financial support garnered from individuals, governments, foundations and corporations. Beneficiaries from the Zip Zap programmes regularly perform in world-class shows locally and internationally. The proceeds from these performances in turn fund the training and are pivotal to the sustainability of Zip Zap.
A Storage Container to Zip Up What Needs to be Zipped Up
With a total of NINE outreach programmes and a huge amount of equipment ranging from aerial contraptions to juggling pins and hoops, one can imagine that storing these items (in a circus tent) requires a magic trick of its own. A hat was considered but found to be inhabited by a bunny. Big Box Containers was delighted to solve their dilemma by sponsoring a 12m Storage Container to ensure the safekeeping of their equipment.
It brings us, as a company, so much joy to be involved in our community. To be a link in the chain when it comes to making a difference, transforming lives and making people feel that they are seen and that they matter.
In the magical words of Dr. Seuss: A person’s a person, no matter how BIG or how small!
