The Great St. Petersburg Circus invites you to the Zapashny brothers’ show “Terrible Force”

Askold and Edgar Zapashny are worthy successors to the legendary circus dynasty. Preserving the traditions of the Russian circus, they bring to their productions the best that exists in world practice.

Director Askold Zapashny staged the new show based on the style of such Hollywood blockbusters as Indiana Jones, The Mummy, and Lara Croft.

The directors' imagination takes us to the 30s of the last century. Brother, sister and their charming friend go into the jungle to get an ancient scroll. But they are not the only ones hunting for a mysterious artifact. What will come of it and what adventures await brave travelers - we will find out from the two-hour performance. We guarantee one thing - evil will be punished and good will triumph.

The technical equipment of the show will amaze even the most experienced viewer. Laser show, light, fantastic performances - everything is at the highest level.

We can’t imagine a circus without animals, and they will be here too. Trained lions, dogs, tigers, elephants, monkeys, horses - they will all take part in the show.

Acrobats, jugglers, clowns, gorgeous dance performances - a total of 125 actors take part in the program. A bonus is live musical accompaniment - an orchestra!

If for you a circus is a collection of acts without a plot, then this show will change your idea of what a modern circus is.

Bright, technological, original and exciting - all this can be said about the new show of the Zapashny brothers.
