"I100RIA" is a circus extravaganza inspired by centuries!
The Great Moscow Circus is rightfully considered a leader in circus arts, personifying the highest level of performance and an innovative approach. Its reputation is based on large-scale and technically advanced productions that invariably capture the audience's breath. This summer, the circus team takes a new step forward, presenting a unique show called "I100RIA".
This show offers viewers a fascinating journey through a century of the history of the Russian and Soviet circus. The production will vividly and dynamically recreate key moments in its development, marked by important achievements and triumphs. This will be a grandiose story about people whose skill and passion for their work have glorified the Russian circus on a global level.
The arena will bring to life the images of great circus dynasties and unrivaled artists who have become symbols of the genre. Spectators will be able to meet legends whose names have forever remained in the annals of history. And this return to the past will happen not through dry facts, but thanks to a magnificent circus extravaganza: exciting tricks of aerial gymnasts and equilibrists, virtuoso juggling that defies gravity, wit and lyricism of clowns from different eras, mesmerizing plasticity of acrobats and strongmen, as well as the magical skill of illusionists.
Tickets to "I100RIA" are not just an opportunity to see a retrospective. This is a unique synthesis of respect for the rich heritage of the past with modern directorial and technological innovations. The project demonstrates how traditional circus genres can acquire a new sound thanks to relevant interpretations. The team of the Great Moscow Circus is convinced that the true path of development lies in the careful preservation of historical memory and respect for the achievements of predecessors, combined with a willingness to accept everything new and progressive. "I100RIA" is an ode to the continuity and eternal youth of circus art.
You will see a century-old story told in the most magical language of the world - the language of the circus.
