Circus have always been a place where family gather to watch death-defying shows, and for a limited time only the circus is in town. Located in Saint Petersburg, from February 22 to March 24, the world renown traveling circus, The Cirque De Soleil is here. Curious about the show? Read more for an insider look on the traveling performance.

Circuses have long been a place of wonder, and despite the appeal dying out, circus’ performance is still well and alive in Tampa. From February 22 to March 24 the Cirque Du Soleil will be opening its doors in St. Petersburg, inviting anyone who wants to experience the thrill of circus performance.

The Cirque Du Soleil is a Canadian entertainment company, and one of the largest contemporary circus producers in the world. Currently based in Quebec, the Cirque de Soleil has multiple shows touring worldwide including performances such as: Alegria, Cirque Du Soleil BAZZAR, Cirque Du Soleil Country, and more.

But what is Cirque Du Soleil? Although most people have a general idea of what a circus is, picturing various clown acts, and exotic animals. The Cirque Du Soleil is a cut above the rest, and although this is occasionally part of the show it would be a crime to describe it as “just a clown show.”

Within their blue and white tent, the performers bring forth a world of their own. Utilizing dancers, acrobats, and musicians they put on a show for the ages creating a truly one-of-a-kind performance. The performers work together to create an eclectic lab of endless inventions that build vibrant scenarios that keep the audience on their toes and in suspense.

The main thrill of the performance is the masterful way they capture the audience’s attention, keeping viewers in a state of suspense. Excluding a 25-minute intermission, the show spans 100 minutes (about 1 and a half hours) and is inspired by classic circus performances, making it an excellent show for first-time enjoyers. If you would like to see the show firsthand, please visit Cirque du Soleil Bazzar Tickets (tickets-center.com) to secure your tickets before it’s too late.
