The show’s ringmaster, Stanislav Kniazkov is a graduate of the famed Moscow City School of Circus Arts, and comes to South Africa after a guest season in the United States with Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey.
“Stas” is a juggler, comic, and a warm and welcoming traditional ringmaster. He will introduce his troupe of circus superstars, the 2017 Moscow Circus programme, and welcome guests to the show.
Hilariously funny, an inheritor of the great Russian clowning tradition – think of Popov, Nikulin, Diamandi – now Shindrov adds his name to the pantheon of clever, traditional, loveable clowns – a clown who speaks all languages without saying a word … he pops in and out of the programme several times.
One of the new wave world circus acts. Guest stars from Canada: five talented, amazingly agile performers. The act includes a duo trampoline and a spectacular glass wall.
Eye-popping, seemingly impossible, quirky and unusual.
A brilliant young performer from Mexico who is in huge demand around the world, from The Swiss National Circus- Knie, to Billy Smart’s famous UK Circus.
From the playground to the world’s most famous circus ring – fast and furious and lots of fun – and isn’t that the biggest, longest skipping rope you’ve ever seen? You’d have to say the Russians invented “Mega Skipping”.
A comic interlude… nothing but good-hearted fun!
Beautiful costumes, one then another and another and yet another. Illusion or magic? A trick or a sleight of hand? Guests will be puzzled and thoroughly entertained. All the way from Havana, Cuba.
The Magolas take Olympic skills to new levels – superb athletics – gold medal standards. The Ukraine’s brightest stars.
A lyrical, theatrical delight. Something new for the Circus art.
Not on one double wheel, but two! Exclusive to the 2017 Great Moscow Circus. An amazing piece of precision-built circus equipment – spinning at a furious pace, with four fearless acrobats risking their all. Over four tonnes of spinning, shining chrome.
These daring young men on the flying trapeze are a band of pirate look-a-likes from Belarus – flying high above the circus ring, performing passes, somersaults and marvellous and dangerous feats.
From far-away Dagestan, this performer puts on a weird, wonderful and eye-popping act.
The biggest act in the show – one of the premiere troupes of the Great Moscow Circus, lead by Sergei Rubtsov. Timing, teamwork, training – all in a whirlwind of non-stop acrobatic action.
Higher and higher he goes, balancing one cylinder on another – the slightest slip could spell disaster.
For the finale, the Great Moscow Circus brings you the Globe of Death Motorcycle act. Five speeding motorbikes, trapped in the same steel globe – how can they possibly survive?
