The Extra­ordinary History of Circus

A wild journey through the history of the circus.

The Extraordinary History of the Circus is a fast-paced and humorous family show that dives into the timeless driving force of the circus: the desire to captivate audiences and to always be the first to present the unexpected, the daring, and the impossible — the very things that take our breath away.

Theatre and circus come together in a dazzling cavalcade of stories from different eras. Five actors and circus artists hurl themselves through a history bursting with courage, curiosity, and the determination to do what no one else has done. Yet!
