All the fun of the Great Moscow Circus is back
THE Great Moscow Circus is returning to the Far North after six years with superstar international acts from Argentina, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Germany, Brazil, Columbia, New Zealand and Australia.
A spokesman said “our new extreme show features some of Australia’s top BMX riders, exciting trampoline and award-winning performers such as our ‘Hand 2 Hand’ act from Uzbekistan and our talented juggling extraordinaire, alongside the world’s best and youngest dare devil motorcycle cage rider”.
“Our clown has been revered as ‘the funniest and most energetic’, leaving audiences roaring in laughter,” he said.
“The wire and electrifying high tricks on the trampoline heighten the extreme theme, leaving audiences gasping in shock.
“Several extraordinary aerial acts and a mind-blowing trapeze act tote amazing technicolour lighting and superb costuming to thrill the crowd.
“Standing ovations have ricocheted throughout the big top of the all-new international extreme circus in New South Wales, Northern Territory, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria.
“Touring for the first time in six years throughout the state of Queensland, do not be confused ... other circuses come and go ... but there is only one Great Moscow Circus that upholds the high-quality brand name.
“This year provides the most extreme, wild, professional superstar acts ..... as The Great Moscow Circus continues its unique tradition in Australia.
“Under the legendary banner of The Great Moscow Circus, death-defying acts from around the globe are being presented throughout Queensland in 2026.
“COVID-19 grounded the circus in 2021 and, due to the sensitive political world situation, these carefully chosen superstars have come together for the first time in a new show performing throughout Queensland.”
The show opens in Cairns on Friday 8 May and runs until Sunday 24 May. It will be at Mareeba from Friday 29 May until Sunday 7 June, at Port Douglas from Thursday 11 June until Sunday 14 June and at Innisfail from Thursday 18 June until Sunday 21 June.
