The Great Moscow Circus last played Hamlyn Terrace five years ago and had to cut the season short after two days due to COVID restrictions.
And now they are set to return, performing in Minnesota Rd next to the Dam Hotel from August 8-24.
“We spent five months in Hamlyn Terrace waiting to either perform or move on and during that time the local community were so caring and supportive of our situation,” a spokesperson said.
“Members of the community continuously brought us home-cooked meals and other food items for our out of work performers.
“We want to thank the community once again and hope they come and see our unbelievable show.”
Death-defying acts from around the globe have come together for the first time in a new Extreme show.
The Great Moscow Circus first visited Australia in 1965 under the auspices of the Edgley Organisation and has continued every three to five years in Australia and New Zealand ever since.
When the Soviet Union collapsed in December 1991 , the Edgley family purchased (trademarks) on the ownership of the name.
These trademarks are currently owned by the Edgley family and the Weber Circus Family, both of Australia, and have no association or affiliation whatsoever with the government of Russia.
The Great Moscow Circus is an extremely strong brand name built up in Australia and New Zealand since the 1960s with more than seven million people attending various seasons.
This season the show comprises superstar international acts from Armenia, Ukraine, Brazil, Columbia, Greece, New Zealand and Australia.
The new Extreme show features daredevil BMX and Pro Scooter riders, hair-raising multi-motorcycle cage riders and a world record acclaimed pole act.
The Armenian clown has been revered as ‘the funniest in the world’, leaving audiences roaring in laughter.
The Wheel of Death and electrifying high tricks on the trampoline heighten the Extreme theme, leaving audiences gasping in shock.
Several extraordinary aerial acts and a mind-blowing trapeze act feature amazing techno colour lighting and superb costuming to thrill the crowd.
