A world-class theatrical spectacle is set to dazzle Dubai audiences as the internationally renowned Circus 1903 makes its debut at the Coca-Cola Arena from June 20 to 22, 2025.
Created by the producers of The Illusionists and the award-winning puppeteers behind War Horse, Circus 1903 revives the golden age of circus with a modern twist. The show promises a visually stunning mix of jaw-dropping acrobatics, daring stunts, and vintage circus charm.
Audiences will be transported to the early 1900s through an immersive 90-minute production featuring strongmen, skaters, aerialists, teeterboard acts, and more. Among its most captivating highlights are life-sized puppet elephants, Queenie and Peanut, brought to life with astonishing realism and emotional depth by a skilled puppetry team.
A charismatic ringmaster guides the show with humor, audience interaction, and nostalgic flair. From hair-raising aerial routines to edge-of-your-seat contortion and bungee acts, every performance is designed to leave spectators in awe.
Set in a period-style circus tent with costumes inspired by historical archives, the production also celebrates the timeless appeal of classic entertainment. Presented in partnership with PME Entertainment, Circus 1903 offers five limited shows that blend nostalgia with jaw-dropping artistry—an unforgettable experience for families and thrill-seekers alike.
