From Russia With Love.
The world’s most famous circus brings its best kept ‘sekret’ to you as Moscow State Circus visits Cumbria.
The Moscow State Circus brings its latest and most spectacular show to date to the UK with this sensational extravaganza Babushkin Sekret. Newsquest Northwest has teamed up with the Moscow State Circus to promote their great competition to our readers. Enter now for your chance to win one of five family tickets to the show which takes place at The Clockoffs, Workington on June 20-22 (Monday to Tuesday 5pm and 7.45pm, Wednesday 5pm only).
Inspired by the legend of ‘The 12 Chairs’, the new show takes you on an incredible journey in the company of some of the greatest circus performers on earth.
A mammoth cast of Russia’s greatest and most talented circus artistes, many of which have never performed in Britain, transform the most famous circus in the world, combining contemporary and classical circus in way never before witnessed.
The newly devised show includes the beautiful queen of Russian circus, Yana Alievia, on a revolving aerial chandelier; the breathtaking Stalkions (three men and two girls walk, back flip and perform unbelievable pyramids 30 feet in the air on the legendary high wire); the Whirlwind Rubsovsm troupe who acrobatically catapult themselves across and high into the big top at breakneck speed; the juggling Sherbakovs on the reverse pyramid of St Petersburg; the Doktrovs flying and spiraling in the apex of the auditorium with grace, beauty and elegance; the unbelievable vertical pole balancing of The Alikanov and the high flying bouncing bamboo bravados of The Perushkins.
If all this isn’t enough to keep you on the edge of your seats, then the hilarious clowns, Valik & Valerik will have you falling off them with laughter.
