WIN!: Family tickets to Moscow State Circus show in Cambridge up for grabs

The extravaganza Babushkin Sekret, inspired by Soviet satirical novel The 12 Chairs, promises to be an incredible journey in the company of one of the greatest non-animal circus performers on earth.

A mammoth cast of Russia’s greatest and most talented circus performers, many of which have never performed in Britain, will combine contemporary and classical circus in ways never before witnessed.

The show includes:

• The queen of Russian circus, Yana Alievia, on a revolving aerial chandelier,

• The Stalkions (three men and two girls walk, back flip and perform pyramids 30ft in the air on the high wire),

• The Whirlwind Rubsovsm troupe who acrobatically catapult themselves across and high into the big top at breakneck speed,

• The juggling Sherbakovs on the reverse pyramid of St Petersburg,

• The Doktrovs, flying and spiraling in the apex of the auditorium with grace, beauty and elegance,

• The vertical pole balancing of The Alikanov, and

• The bouncing bamboo bravados of The Perushkins.

If all this isn’t enough to keep you on the edge of your seats, then clowns Valik and Valerik will have you falling off them with laughter.

The circus comes to Midsummer Common in Cambridge from October 5-9. Shows are 5pm and 8pm October 5-7, 3pm and 8pm on October 8 and 2pm and 5pm on October 9.
