A Night at the Museum meets contemporary circus when Quirki by Cirque Surreal comes to the Intu Trafford Centre for October half-term.
It runs from October 18 to November 2 in a big top setting transported to the heart of Mexico, for "set-pieces of physical improbabilities".
A giant space wheel and motorcycle thunderdome are given an ultra-modern twist by circus artistes from around the globe, woven together with comedy from Chico Rico.
Cirque Surreal has toured around the Far and Middle East with innovative concepts and artistes.
