Liza creates here own stage wherever she goes. Always without any emissions because she travels by bike. She works with all things her bikes consist of: her bell, helmet, water bottle and all kinds of small bicycle mechanics and creates an outdoor circus performance in which she combines her juggling and movement skills. Fun fact: along the way, Liza draws inspiration from all the spontaneous encounters, making each performance completely unique.  

Galop is an ode to cycling, celebrates the love of nomadic circus life and offers ideas for a sustainable future. And if you cannot get enough of Liza or her circus performance? Then just cycle along with Liza afterwards.
