At the Fontanka Circus - “Terrible Power” by the Zapashny brothers

Circus is fun and magic, unimaginable and breathtaking stunts, skillful acts and artistic animals. Representatives of one of the most famous circus dynasties, Edgard and Askold Zapashny, invite you to go on an exciting journey full of extreme moments, beauty and unique skill. The director was inspired to create the show “Terrible Force” by the world-famous action films “Indiana Jones”, “Lara Croft”, “The Mummy”.

The main characters will appear before the public in the role of guards of a parallel civilization. Their main mission will be to preserve the “Terrible Power”, and a realistic struggle between good and evil will unfold before you. The vibrant performance is harmoniously complemented by three-dimensional decorations, light and laser projections, and performances using pyrotechnics. Along with professional artists, horses, parrots, chimpanzees and, of course, noble predators - lions and tigers - will perform in the arena. Jugglers will surprise you with their ability to control the abundance of objects floating in the air. Gymnasts and tightrope walkers make you look under the circus dome with bated breath. The dance troupe will create a real holiday and add fire to your mood!

The circus is a win-win option for family leisure. Both adults and children will receive a tremendous positive charge from watching the show “Terrible Power”, which will bring back pleasant memories for a long time!
