THE Great Moscow Circus has started off their series of Geelong performances with their first show last night (Thursday, March 28).<\/p>\n

The circus has a brand-new ‘Extreme’ show, featuring new riders and productions with performers from the Nitro Circus, dancers, aerial performances, a vocalist and more.<\/p>\n

Great Moscow Circus creative director and trapeze artist Tahlia Weber said the show was completely different from the last time the circus was in Geelong, about seven years ago.<\/p>\n

“We have the world’s best acts. Our brand-new act is Duo Acero, they’re Guinness World Record holders and gold medallists, they’re just incredible and we’re so excited to have them here.”<\/p>\n

Ms Weber said she was looking forward to performing for the Geelong audience.<\/p>\n

“Last time I was here I was about 16 and I remember the crowds always loved it, we got great feedback, so I’m really excited to bring the show to them again.”<\/p>\n

Ms Weber, a seventh-generation circus performer, said the crowd was always on the edge of their seats from start to finish, with her 10-year-old brother Cruz being one of the highlights of the show.<\/p>\n

“He is just incredible; he goes in the globe of death with the motorbikes and he’s the youngest in the world to ride with the other riders.”<\/p>\n

Ms Weber said she loves living on the circus circuit and is excited to be performing again after a week off.<\/p>\n

“I love travelling and you’re getting paid to travel and it’s just the best life, I love performing as well, I love the feeling of the crowd.”<\/p>\n

The Great Moscow Circus is in Geelong after a three-month season in Tasmania, travelling with about 25 performers and will be at the Waurn Ponds Shopping Centre until April 14.<\/p>\n
