Direct from Russia – Splash Water Circus coming to town
Splash! is a circus for the modern age, presenting a variety of circus genres, but with a unique, visual twist.
Audiences of all ages will be spellbound by the refreshing Splash! The Water Circus all the way from Russia. It is its first visit to South Africa.
Splash! will run at Silverstar’s The Globe from Saturday, 19 August to Sunday, 17 September for a short season before touring the country until the new year.
Splash! is a circus for the modern age, presenting a variety of circus genres, but with a unique, visual twist. The traditional acts look completely different as they are presented in – or above – a 12 metre diameter pool of water. Accompanying this is a dazzling lighting and laser show that perfectly displays the impressive body manipulation and contortion feats among a series of water fountains.
The audience will gasp as they watch traditional aerial circus acts such as the spectacular Silks, all taking place above water. Added to the already impressive list of circus acts is the Espana family from Brazil performing their daredevil Wheel of Death and The Russian Swing.
In addition to all the circus acts people are accustomed to seeing, the show also has a full team of synchronised swimmers who add to the magic. Their disciplined and well-trained displays are among the reasons why the show is considered so unique.
There are no animals in any of the acts, but the performers showcase the extreme talent and capabilities of the human body in an action-packed show presented around the custom-built pool, ensuring a truly memorable audience experience.
Performances are Thursdays and Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 11am, 3pm and 7pm, Sundays at 11am and 3pm.
Ticket prices range from R100 to R375 and bookings are through Computicket (www.computicket.com) or call 0861 915 8000.
The show runs for two hours and 10 minutes, which includes a 20-minute interval.
No babies in arms or children under the age of two will be allowed into the auditorium.
