For
the first time ever, the world famous tradition of Russian circus will make its
way to Malaysia in a sensational eight-month nationwide tour featuring a
variety of dazzling and jaw dropping circus acts.
The
engaging and extraordinary variety event will make its debut in Malaysia with
performances in ten cities across seven states, commencing with the first show
from 10 August to 2 September 2018 at Padang Timur, Petaling
Jaya, moving up north to Queensbay Mall, Penang on 13 to 30 September as well
as Auto City, Prai on 5 to 21 October, followed by the other earmarked
locations including Melaka, Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, Batu Pahat, Ipoh,
Kuantan, and Klang, running all the way till 31 March 2019.
This
special edition tour, also known as The Moscow Circus Tour of Malaysia
2018/19, is the brainchild of Executive Producers Dato’ Sri G Radakrishnan
and Yahna SG, together with Producers Kenneth Lee and Mr Victor Pilipovic.
For
the first time in history, The Moscow Circus will bring together troupes from
two of the best and most well-known Russian circus companies - the Bolshoi
Circus (aka The Moscow State Circus at Vernadsky Prospekt) and the Nikulin
Moscow Circus.
“We are thrilled to announce The Moscow Circus
Tour of Malaysia that will be held for the next eight months. This show is a
unique opportunity to witness world-class performers from the renowned Nikulin
Moscow Circus and Bolshoi Circus right here in Malaysia. We also look forward
to bringing engaging activities during our tour stops around the country to
showcase the acts and connect closely with the audiences along with our
partners. It will truly be an exciting journey and an unforgettable
experience!” said Kenneth Lee, Producer of The Moscow Circus Tour of Malaysia
2018/19.
Universally
known as the capital of circus arts, Russian circus artists have, for decades,
been thrilling audiences across the globe with spectacular performances full of
power, artistry and world-class athletic skills. Visitors both young and old
will be transported into a fantasy world through a unique array of performances
by trapeze artists, jugglers, acrobats and gymnasts, all vying for attention
and often at the same time!
Never-before-seen acts that audiences can look forward to
include thrilling death-defying feats by aerialists, high wire
walkers, trapeze artists and Russian Swing acrobats, along with specially
featured highlights such as a mesmerizing juggling performance by famous
juggler Semen Krachinov, high octane roller skaters, gravity challenging diablo
spinners and mind-boggling illusionists, all held together by one of
Russia’s most well-known clowns, Armen Asiryants.
Each
performance will feature a two-hour long world-class programme encompassing
nearly 40 professional performers guaranteed to keep audiences on the edge of
their seats.
“It will be great opportunity for families,
couples as well as groups of friends to enjoy an exciting experience of a
lifetime, which is why we are offering affordable ticket prices from as low as
RM50 and shows that lasts for over 24 days at each city. We do not want anyone
to miss their chance of attending one of our shows and be in awe of the unique
feats you won’t be seeing anywhere else,” added Kenneth Lee.
The
Executive Producers and Producers have also taken extra measures to ensure the
event provides a positive contribution towards the community and the Malaysian
economy. In line with the government’s call for Malaysians to help the nation
overcome its debts, a part of all proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to
the government’s Tabung Harapan Malaysia.
The Moscow Circus shall then equally match the amount
collected with the hope that a total of at least RM1,000,000 will be raised for
the fund during the tour.
“We are grateful to be given this opportunity to bring
fellow Malaysian residents an internationally known group of artists to present
an electrifying set of performances. Equally importantly, we also wish to play
our part by contributing an amount from our sales to the government’s Tabung
Harapan. Therefore, those who purchase our tickets will not only get to enjoy
an unforgettable event, but will also be doing a good deed for the nation at
the same time,” said Dato’ Sri G Radakrishnan, Executive Producer of The Moscow
Circus Tour of Malaysia 2018/19.
Tickets to the show can be purchased at an affordable
price from as low as RM50 and up to RM280 for top tier tickets. To complete the
circus experience, the entire performance will take place under a 2,700-seater
fully air-conditioned circus Big Top, which will be the largest circus tent to
ever exist in Malaysia.
