Circus Extreme has arrived in Cardiff and is currently dazzling audiences with its death defying stunts until Saturday, 4 June 2022.

The world famous circus has returned to the UK as part of its world tour, promising ‘a one-of-a-kind performance’ with its highly talented performers. And the fact that the circus hasn’t beckoned on the city since 2019, makes it extra special.

If like me, you’ve been to the circus before, perhaps as a child, you’ll know the excitement of entering the big top, with its electric atmosphere as you wait for the show to start. There is no designated seating, other than the section that you’ve paid to sit in (i.e. grand stand / VIP etc), so you’ll want to arrive early (approx 45 minutes before) to find your seats.

If you’ve been before, you’ll probably recognise some acts from advertisements, but make no mistake, Circus Extreme 2022 has an enhanced show offering, bringing a modern twist on this contemporary art. In fact, with its combination of dance, tomfoolery and spectacular lighting display, the circus these days offers full on family entertainment.

According to its creators, it has been five years in the making and features some of the most talented performers in the world. It’s not surprising when you think of the physically demanding stunts, and the fact that they’re doing these things at a great personal risk. They will certainly not be ones to try at home, kids.

The United Kingdom was specifically chosen as the location for Circus Extreme due to its diverse cultural background. A major centre of the creative industries, and the fourth most visited country in the entire World, so where better to celebrate the vibrant, artistic and awe-inspiring nature of the circus.
