Rhythms Circus Company Aruba is a talented group of young people working daily to present their art in the form of acrobatics, dancing, acting and singing. After an impactful participation in one of America’s biggest talent shows, they are now bringing their amazing talent to Aruba!
In a show full of light, music, and with performances to famous musical figures like Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson and Tina Turner, the group consisting of 15 people from various countries delights the audience with their artistic prowess at the Paseo Herencia Mall, every Wednesday and Friday starting at 7pm. Each day has a different show, so you can attend both nights for the complete experience!
The group, under the leadership of directors and creators Diego Jaramillo and Yamila Hernandez are opening the doors to the ballroom to our local audience as well as our visitors so that everyone can have the privilege of experiencing this wonderful show.
Hernandez explained that the idea for this project started in 2010 when she came to work in Aruba. After being on the island for a while she decided to stay and live here, and she met Diego Jaramillo, who is currently her partner. Together they came with the idea to establish a company together with other professional artists, with the goal of living from their art.
Hernandez says that the work is hard – all of the performers are professional artists, and while the production of the show is not a challenge for them, selling the idea proved difficult since at the time, there weren’t any shows of its kind on the island.
America’s Got Talent
Currently they are offering a show with music, choreography and at the end, they have a shocking acrobatics ending, one that was seen my thousands of people around the world when the group travelled to Los Angeles in the United States to represent Aruba in America’s Got Talent. Hernandez said that the show was very important for them to meet the public present because people could experience this performance live and right before their eyes.
Their presentation in America’s Got Talent “was incredible” and they were able to meet the jury and many other artists staying there for three months. But the exhaustion and physical toll was so great that Diego suffered an accident, and because of this, they had to cancel all future commitments.
“This is work for which you must have a lot of respect. Circus as such implies a lot of risk, we have to give all of ourselves, we need to be in a physical state where you cannot stop training, there needs to be steadfastness; but if you go past the limit, your body cannot handle it. It seems that during this tour we went over the limit and Diego was injured right when we had to go sign up for the next part of the tour with America’s Got Talent. That was frustrating,” Yamila explained.
Thanks to their performance in America’s Got Talent, they received a lot of offers. However, before that they travelled to Hungary, to the Budapest Circus Festival, and afterwards they decided to return to and remain in Aruba to show their talents up close at home.
Future projects
Next month in July the group is travelling to Italy to perform at the show “Tu si que vales”, and in August they are travelling to France for the program “La France a un Incroyable Talent”, completing their travels in November in China, to perform at the Wuqiao International Circus Festival.
Even so, “these are short tours of maximum two weeks, because we are committed to our show in Aruba,” Yamila explained.
