About Us

Hala Circus Arts is a Toronto-based performing entertainment house specializing in the curation of exceptional, character-driven circus performances for festivals, corporate and private events, and large-scale public gatherings in Canada and abroad. Founded by performer and creative director Hala Zabaneh, the company has grown over two decades from a foundation in fire performance and stilt-walking into one of the GTA's most trusted sources for high-impact roaming entertainment. Hala began her professional circus journey in 2004, and since then the company has brought its distinctive style of performance to well over a thousand events.

Originally established as Hala on Stilts Entertainment, and recognized for offering one of the largest selections of elaborate bespoke stilt-walking costumes and characters in Southern Ontario, the company has naturally evolved into Hala Circus Arts, a performing artist agency. This expansion reflects a broader creative vision: pairing our signature in-house creations with a thoughtfully curated roster of Toronto-based performers, including specialty acts and stage-based disciplines.

With a roster of experienced artists, many of whom have collaborated with us for over a decade, Hala Circus Arts creates immersive experiences that blend spectacle, artistry, and genuine audience connection. We look forward to working with you and bringing unforgettable energy, beauty, and magic to your events.
