The Moscow State Circus brings its brand new show to Manchester’s Heaton Park from September 11 to 15 and then Tatton Park near Knutsford from September 17-22.
Set in an authentic big top one of the greatest and most famous circuses is hosted by superstar clowns Splendid Pavlik and Klava.
As they reminisce about past times they are surrounded by flying, back-flipping, juggling and roller skating performers.
There’s the award-winning Flying Trapeze of Alievs White Birds to the whirlwind roller skating of the Veslovskis; three bathing beauties on the revolving arial ring to the vertical pole jugglers of the Four Yakovleys.
Add to the mix the Kozak whip crackers and the revolving Russian swing catapulting its 10-strong troupe at breakneck speed and audiences will be treated to a show created especially for its first ever European tour.
