Circus Acts...
The Great Moscow Circus is coming to Cape Town this month! I’m not going to lie, the prospect of a circus doesn’t really float my boat because I don’t like what they do with the animals but the Moscow Circus drew my attention because they have no animals in any of their performances.
Apparently modern circuses focus on human endeavour which is what can be expected when The Moscow Circus sets up at the Grand West Arena from April 10th to the 17th. The performance which is themed “A Russian Folk Fair” combines Russian folk musicians, traditional costumes, ornate backdrops, dancers, history and culture and of course death defying stunts and tricks.
The Moscow Circus has been going for 90 years and has set the standard that other circuses are measured against which promises a high level of professionalism and a fantastic act. Acrobats, Trapeze artists, gymnasts, acrobatic clowns, aerial straps, contortionists and jugglers will have the kids shrieking in excitement and adults amazed at what is being done.
Professionals in circus are regarded on par with Opera singers and Ballet dancers in Russia so you can rest assured that the performance will be a treat for everyone, no dilapidated old ‘big top’ tent and caravans around which mistreated animals forage for food will be found around these guys, so I think I can safely say that my seat is booked :)
