Meet Elkote — the one‐man circus who unleashes a dog, a frog, and a chicken. The twist? The only real animal is him.

This award‐winning Chilean performer has built a world of acrobatics, juggling, and ridiculous improvisation that erupts wherever he lands. With nothing more than a wildly playful imagination, Elkote transforms ordinary spaces into spontaneous theatres of chaos and charm. Every show is different, shaped by the audience, the street, and the moment — but all share the same outcome: laughter, awe, and pure joy.

Funny, fearless, and full of heart, Elkote’s alter‐egos (both human and otherwise) tumble their way into your day with flips, tricks, and a fair dose of nonsense.

Born in Chile and now based in France, Elkote is a true street theatre artist, juggler, acrobat, clown, and provocateur. His performances blend skill with silliness and heart with humour, reminding us that sometimes the wildest circus is the one a single person can carry in a suitcase.

Our busker schedule drops in early January. Until then, you can count on seeing each artist  performing at least twice a day from Friday 23 January to Sunday 1 February. Follow us on socials or sign up to our newsletter to stay in the loop.
