The magical show "I100ria" continues at the Bolshoi Moscow Circus on Vernadsky Avenue!
First presented in 2019 in honor of the centenary of the Russian circus, the show "I100ria" has since periodically returned to the arena. This is a unique journey through time that will appeal to both adults and children, both residents of Moscow and its guests.
"I100ria" harmoniously combines tradition and innovation, exciting acrobatic numbers and performances of trained animals, clowning and modern special effects. Spectators go on a fascinating journey through the history of circus art: from the first booths to modern world shows.
Now these are full-fledged performances, where the plot unfolds through characters on stage, dances, songs and numbers of leading artists. Thus, the circus on Vernadsky has turned into a multifaceted entertainment center. Each performance is carefully thought out to surprise spectators of any age. The directors boldly combine classical circus traditions with modern technology, lighting effects and sound, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. This reflects the evolution of the modern circus.
The show begins with the number "Old Circus", immersing the audience in the era of Tsarist Russia: the arena is covered with trampoline nets, and acrobats embody the images of Harlequin and Columbine. At that time, strongmen and other unusual acts were popular. The show ends with the number "Circus of the Future or People and Aliens", where acrobats perform together with charming sea lions under the guidance of hereditary trainer Vasily Timchenko.
Tigers and lions under the guidance of the Zapashny brothers demonstrate complex tricks: jumping through rings of fire and synchronized movements in the number "Circus of the Perestroika Times". A macaque on a scooter and acrobats on springboards add dynamics. Bright costumes, thoughtful decorations and high level of skill of the artists make the show a memorable holiday and at the same time a lesson in the history of the Russian circus.
Tickets for the show "I100ria" can be purchased right now on our website. Spend an unforgettable weekend with your family, enjoying this bright performance!
