"Genuinely eye popping" The Evening Standard

The Moscow State Circus returns to the UK with this once in a life time opportunity to see the award winning show Legenda. Bringing with it a huge cast of Russia's greatest and most flexible circus performers. Many of the critically acclaimed acts are pushing the boundary of human physical ingenuity to its limits. However this time the greatest show on earth has had a face lift and been revolutionised. The worlds most famous circus collides with the legendary Russian folklore figure Rasputin to create a sensational show that combines contemporary and classical circus at it's very best.

Rasputin was often described as a romantic, a mystic and a visionary. Entitled Legenda, his vivid dreams will form the theme of the show, entwined with the pride of Russia's most magnificent circus artistes and state of the art special effects.
