Circus on the Fontanka (St. Petersburg) invites you to the Zapashny brothers’ show “Terrible Force”

Askold and Edgar Zapashny created a unique show that combines centuries-old circus traditions with an innovative approach to creating a program.

A fascinating plot, large-scale scenery, complex performances with animals, tightrope walkers and gymnasts of the highest class, an abundance of pyrotechnic performances, the use of light and laser equipment - all this is the “Terrible Force” show, which for a couple of hours will make you forget about the real world and believe in incredible miracles .

In search of valuable artifacts, the main characters of the show will visit the wild jungle, expose themselves to danger, find new friends, visit several countries and even meet their love!

In the circus arena you will see acts with animals such as horses, elephants, monkeys, tigers, dogs. But the main role in this performance still belongs to people. But not simple ones, but true masters of their craft. The performances of tightrope walkers and acrobats are what will make your hearts skip a beat with delight. The Wheel of Death attraction is the central event of the entire show. Unfeasible, difficult, scary - the Zapashny team simply does not know such words.

The most complex performances under the very top of the circus are the finale of long and hard rehearsals.

More than a hundred people take part in the performance, the musical accompaniment is provided by a live orchestra, a real airplane under the circus dome and much more that does not fit into the concept of a classic circus performance, but looks incredibly exciting, awaits you in April and May at the circus on the Fontanka.

Tickets for the circus show “Terrible Power” are already waiting for you. Buy them at the box office and online.
