This June, step back in time as Circus 1903 arrives at the Coca-Cola Arena for its Dubai debut, promising a magical experience packed with wonder, thrills and turn-of-the-century circus charm.
Running from 20 to 22 June, this limited-run show brings the golden age of the big top roaring back to life with a modern theatrical twist. Produced by the team behind global hits like 'The Illusionists', 'Le Grand Cirque', and 'Cirque Adrenaline', Circus 1903 is a time-travelling performance that blends classic circus acts with dazzling stagecraft.
What Can You Expect?
Designed to transport audiences to a bygone era, Circus 1903 is a rich tapestry of traditional circus artistry and jaw-dropping talent. The show features a spectacular cast of over 30 international performers, from skaters, aerialists, and acrobats to trapeze artists, knife throwers, and high-wire daredevils. There’s something to leave every audience member, from children to adults, wide-eyed in amazement.
What truly sets Circus 1903 apart is the breathtaking life-sized puppet elephants crafted by the award-winning puppeteers from War Horse. Meet Queenie and Peanut, a majestic mother-and-calf duo who bring a warm-hearted storyline to life on stage, as the young elephant learns how to perform in the circus. Their movements are so lifelike, it’s hard to believe they’re not real, offering a nostalgic nod to circus traditions, reimagined with sensitivity and innovation.
Whether you're a lifelong fan of classic circus entertainment or introducing your children to its timeless magic for the first time, Circus 1903 promises an unforgettable, family-friendly outing in the heart of Dubai.
