The Great Moscow Circus comes to Geelong next Thursday for two weeks of high-energy, death defying stunts.
This year the circus celebrates its 50th year in Australia with a line-up of new Russian and international performers.
Its three-year anniversary tour opened in Queensland in April and will visit more than 80 towns and cities in Australia.
The circus has a cast of 45 performers and 14 international acts in a production which will impress all ages, promoters said.
In 1965, Eric Edgley brought The Great Moscow Circus to Australia and since then more than eight million Australians have seen the spectacle.
His son, Michael Edgley has carried on the family tradition, and he described this tour’s line-up as the best yet.
He said the circus had “pulled out all stops” to wow families Australia-wide.
“The Moscow Circus has brought together the finest acts from around the world that have never been seen before under the big top in Australia.”
The circus will feature the ‘Globe of Death’, with six motorbike riders in a metal sphere – a never-seen-before feat in Australia, promoters said.
Crazy clowns, trapeze artists and acrobats will also hit the ring during the two-hour show.
The circus will run for more than 20 shows at the Geelong Showgrounds from 25 August to 11 September.
