KUALA LUMPUR, June 13 — The circus is back in town!
Get ready for a night filled with thrilling acts and dazzling acrobatics.
Returning for the sixth time in Malaysia after a three-year hiatus, the Swiss Dream Circus is setting up their big top at Mutiara Park in Mutiara Damansara for a month-long spectacle.
Taking place from June 28 until July 23, the Switzerland-based circus will be bringing over 11 types of performances to amaze audiences this time around.
Acts include a Cyr Wheel performance by award-winning Ukranian artist Jeka Dehtiarov, to gripping knife-throwing and arrow act by couple Tatiana and Igor, as well as award-winning aerial straps act by Janine and Fabien.
This is followed by a series of thrilling balancing acts which includes a ladder balancing act and a rola-rola act.
Adding modern touches to the traditional extravagance, the circus will also have an extreme LED light show using laser technology as well as a LED dancing performance.
According to founder and producer, Marco Baumgartner, the team are excited to return to Malaysia after having to take a compulsory break due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“As always, the road to success is paved with challenges and the debate of whether we should embark on this journey once again has kept us awake at night.
“It's a new challenge for us every year. From securing venue and entertainment permits, sponsorships and making logistical arrangements for the artists; coupled with designing a robust marketing plan and setting up our beautiful Big Top.
“But boy do we love a challenge! We did not begin this journey to fill our pockets. Swiss Dream Circus was founded on the belief that this timeless cultural experience is worth preserving and sharing; passing it on to the next generation of dreamers,” he said in a press statement.
Baumgartner added that they will begin setting up their big top beginning June 16, just ten days before the first show begins.
Tickets for the Swiss Dream Circus 2023 — The Comeback is available here with ticketing price starting from RM49 to RM199.
