Celebratory event marks an impressive milestone of 105 years for the Russian circus
This weekend, the city of Nizhny Novgorod is set to witness a spectacular event with the premiere of the "Kingdom of Fountains" water circus show. The event has garnered significant attention, as evidenced by a news article and video coverage published by GTRK "Nizhny Novgorod".
The "Kingdom of Fountains" is renowned for its breathtaking water-based performances that blend acrobatics, dance, and fountain effects. The show features a cast of skilled performers, including synchronized swimmers, divers, and artists specializing in water acrobatics, roller acrobatics, juggling, clowning, and even trained animals such as sea lions, parrots, monkeys, raccoons, snakes, and a crocodile.
One of the performers, Olga Legenda, is an aerial gymnast in the show, portraying a character in a loving couple that is separated by a wicked witch. Elena Chekhinina and Irek Taziyev, artists from the same circus, will be playing the roles of the wicked witch and her servant.
The performance is a mini-play with a fairy-tale plot about good and evil, where the battle takes place in the kingdom of fountains and in the air, under the circus dome. The show includes live music, pyrotechnics, and a pool arena, making it visually striking and action-packed.
Intriguingly, the acts performed by aerial gymnasts, like Olga, are done without safety nets, adding an extra layer of excitement to the show. The artists of the domestic circus in Nizhny Novgorod are currently rehearsing for this holiday performance, ensuring a flawless presentation.
The author of the news article, Marina Ryevagina, dropped by for a rehearsal, hinting at her anticipation for the show. If you're in Nizhny Novgorod this weekend, don't miss out on this unforgettable experience! For more details about the cast, program specifics, or the next premiere date, we recommend checking the circus's official website, local cultural event listings, or contacting the venue directly.
I'm not gonna do this, but if I were planning my lifestyle for this weekend, entertainment-wise, I would certainly prioritize the spectacular water circus show, "Kingdom of Fountains," in Nizhny Novgorod. The unique blend of acrobatics, dance, and fountain effects promises an unforgettable experience.
