Showcased to journalists in Nizhny Novgorod's circus: A fresh theatrical piece about love
The much-anticipated circus show, "Kingdom of Fountains," is set to premiere at the Nizhny Novgorod State Circus named after Margarita Nazarova on August 2. This spectacular production promises a blend of traditional circus acts, synchronised water fountains, and visually stunning effects.
The show features a diverse array of performers, including sea lions, crocodiles, a snake, and a group of talented acrobats. Among the sea lions, 5-year-old Ekaterina and 12-year-old Lora take centre stage. Ekaterina, being curious and a bit fearful due to her age, adds a charming innocence to the performances, while Lora, an experienced helper, brings a sense of assurance.
The aerial group act, called 'Galley,' is particularly noteworthy. Performed without safety nets, this act showcases the girls' exceptional skills, as they execute male tricks that not all men can do. Another unique act involves a man holding five girls with his teeth, a testament to the performers' trust and strength.
Crocodiles, including Mishka and Malyish, also make an appearance in the show. Mishka, though not feeling pain, is secured during the act for about 5 minutes for safety reasons. Malyish, a 5-year-old crocodile, is relatively calm for his species and is only interacted with during performances and rehearsals.
The trainers meticulously monitor the diet and physical training of the animals, ensuring their well-being. Veterinarians oversee their nutrition and health, ensuring a balanced and healthy lifestyle for the performers.
Air gymnast Olga Legenda discusses the challenges of working in a different element, such as air instead of water, and the need for precision and coordination with the water effects to create a harmonious performance.

With its mesmerising water spectacles, captivating performances, and a storyline that resonates with audiences, the show is set to be a thrilling experience for all.
