Fountains, acrobats, and a lost island: St. Petersburg to host the "Island" circus show

The Great St. Petersburg State Circus invites audiences to join an extraordinary journey. The "Island" water circus show combines spectacular circus acts, aquatic effects, and an adventure-filled storyline. The tale begins on a luxury cruise liner, where guests are greeted by dazzling fountains, waterfalls, aerialists, acrobats, and mysterious mermaids.

The travelers' plans are disrupted by a sudden storm. Afterward, the passengers find themselves far from civilization—on a mysterious, primordial island. This unfamiliar place teems with life and unexpected encounters. Fur seals, vibrant parrots, agile monkeys, and ancient reptiles appear before the audience, transforming the action in the arena into a true adventure.

The characters certainly won't be bored, as the clowns Boatswain and Sashka appear on the island. Their resourcefulness and sense of humor become a key part of the journey. For these characters, nothing is ordinary: even a door or a bathtub can suddenly transform into a mode of transport. Thanks to these comic situations, the serious adventure takes on a lighthearted and fun tone.

The show is built on a blend of various circus arts and modern stage technology. Dizzying stunts give way to aerial acrobatics, while technology helps create grand-scale effects.

Water plays a central role here: fountains and waterfalls become part of the action, helping to transport the audience from everyday reality to the fantastical world of the island.The "Island" water circus offers a unique opportunity for a family outing and a chance to see a show where the circus arena transforms into a setting for real adventure. You can buy tickets for the "Island" water circus on our website and join the characters on a journey into the unknown. Spectacular acts, unexpected encounters, and an atmosphere of true wonder await you.
