foyer before the show visitors can take part<br />
in a New Year circus carnival, with free ice<br />
cream and plenty of surprises. There will be<br />
entertainment of many different kinds: pony<br />
rides, a kingdom of distorting mirrors and<br />
aqua-make-up. The circus also has a clown<br />
museum with over 5,000 exhibits from<br />
various ages from all over the world.<br />
Bazillium is more than just a circus.<br />
It is a circus-theater: every show is<br />
not simply a collection of circus acts<br />
and stunts, but a full-value theatrical<br />
production in a wide variety of genres —<br />
a theater of clowning, a theater of mime,<br />
a fire show, a variety show and much<br />
more. An interesting feature of this circus<br />
is that it has two stages, one of them in<br />
the very middle of the auditorium. And the<br />
auditorium is quite small, so all members<br />
of the audience feel as though they are<br />
part of the show. The circus’s New Year<br />
program runs from December 25 to<br />
January 15. An hour and a half before the<br />
show and twenty minutes after it there will<br />
be a parade in the foyer, the participants<br />
being the circus artists and all the visitors,<br />
both young and old — competitions,<br />
tricks, prizes, presents, refreshments and<br />
a chance to mingle with the artists, who<br />
include the trained dogs and multicolored<br />
parrots that are so popular with audiences.<br />
Another step into the fairytale world is<br />

It is not only the circus’s concept that is<br />
unique, but also its construction. Despite<br />
the fact that it is a mobile circus that<br />
can be dismantled and reassembled in a<br />
few weeks, it is very cozy inside: velvet,<br />
natural wood, stained glass and a wealth of<br />
mirrors that make the space appear larger.<br />
In all the details one can sense the skilful<br />
hand of the idea’s originator — Cirque du<br />
Soleil artist Vasily Demenchukov. Canada’s<br />
most famous circus is also appearing<br />
in Moscow: its show Saltimbanco quite<br />
recently enjoyed a triumph at Luzhniki,<br />
and from the beginning of February the<br />

You can see a classic circus show at<br />
the Allez-Moscow Traveling Circus. It has<br />
been in existence for around 15 years and<br />
tours Russia with invariable success. The<br />
circus’s main pride is its equestrian show.<br />
The training is above all praise. Besides the<br />
shows featuring horses (Freedom of Horses<br />
and Gypsy Girl), there are performances<br />
by other trained animals (beasts of prey,<br />
dogs and monkeys), trapeze artists and, of<br />
course, clowns.<br />
And the very young will undoubtedly<br />
enjoy Durov Animal Theater, which<br />
also has a rich history: Vladimir Durov, a<br />
famous circus artist and animal trainer and<br />
the first Honored Circus Artist of Russia,<br />
opened it in January 1912, so the theater<br />
will very soon be celebrating its centenary.<br />
It is, of course, not so much a circus as a<br />
theater, but an unusual theater: its artists<br />
are animals and birds. From December<br />
10 on the Large Stage the artists will be<br />
performing The Queen’s New Year Caprice,<br />
featuring a fox, a deer, bears, wolves, a<br />
sea lion, an elephant and numerous other<br />
animals.<br />
Whichever show you choose, you are<br />
guaranteed an excellent mood, even if does<br />
not last for the whole year!<br />
