Acrobats, aerialists, and elephant puppets are on the agenda.
Dubai and Jeddah are at the forefront of exciting events this year. And while those offer excellent entertainment, Circus 1903 is making its way to both the cities as well.
Taking place from 7 to 11 June in Jeddah and then making its way to Dubai from 20 to 22 June, the internationally acclaimed Circus 1903 is rolling into town. In Dubai, it will take place at Coca Cola Arena and in Jeddah, the event will take place at Abadi Aljohar Arena. This time-travelling experience brings the golden age of the big top to life in Dubai and Jeddah. Expect skaters, acrobats, aerialists and even death-defying trapeze artists.
Created by Simon Painter and Tim Lawson, the masterminds behind global hits like The Illusionists, Le Grand Cirque, and Cirque Adrenaline, Circus 1903 combines classic circus acts with theatrical flair. One of its standout elements is the return of elephants to the ring — only this time, it is through puppetry. You’ll get to meet Queenie and Peanut, a mother-and-baby elephant duo, wherein the calf is taught how to perform in a circus. These elephant-puppets’ lifelike movements will make you awe.
Circus 1903 is ideal for all ages. It offers a family-friendly experience that’s both thrilling and heartwarming. Whether you’re reliving your childhood memories or introducing your kids to the magic of the circus for the first time, this show hits all the right notes.
