PREVIEW: Roll up, roll up for Moscow circus in Southport

THE Moscow State Circus arrives in Southport this month with a new production.

Its latest, and reportedly most spectacular, show Babushkin Sekret is inspired by the Russian legend of 'the 12 chairs', and promises to combine contemporary and classical circus in a way never before seen.

A cast of talented circus artists will take audiences on a journey, with the newly-devised show including the queen of Russian Circus Yana Alievia on a revolving aerial chandelier, the Whirlwind Rubsovsm troupe who acrobatically catapult themselves at breakneck speed, the juggling Sherbakovs on the reverse pyramid of St Petersburg, and the Doktrov, flying and spiralling in the apex of the auditorium

There’s also clowns Splendid Pavlik and Klava.

Moscow State Circus brings Babushkin Sekret to Southport Theatre on February 19.
