[00:00.00] Another thing you can not afford to miss is to circus performances.
[00:04.27] The first is the Circus Romano from Italy.
[00:07.44] As this is a travelling circus, it follows a long tradition by performing in a marquee which is really like a canvas protable building,
[00:15.50] usually put up in a green space or car park, rather than in a theatre or stadium.
[00:21.40] In spite of this, Circus Romano is not at all like the traditional circuses.
[00:26.43] There are no animals just very talented clowning and acrobatic routines.
[00:30.51] The show has a lot of very funny movements, especially at the beginning, but the best part is the music and lighting.
[00:37.33] They 're magical.
[00:38.43] At forty five dollars it's very expensive anyway it's really for adult tastes.
[00:45.23] The second circus performance is Circus Electrica at the Studio Theatre.
[00:50.11] The purists are suggesting that this is not a circus at all.
[00:53.48] It's a showcase for skills in dance and magic, rather than the usual ones you expect in a circus.
[00:59.15] With only six performers it's a small production, which suits the venue well the Studio only seats about two hundred people.
[01:07.12] An interesting feature of the show is that the performers are so young the youngest is only fourteen.
[01:13.14] But it's still well worth seeing: a good one for the whole family.
[01:16.43] And finally, as it's summer, you may wish to see some of the outdoor performances,
[01:20.46] like the famous water puppet troupe, performing in the City Gardens this week.
[01:25.01] It's large puppets on long sticks, controlled by puppeteers standing waist deep in the lake.
[01:31.55] The puppets do comedy routines and there is some terrific formation dancing.
[01:36.37] This is a fantastic show and the best moment comes at the end seeing the puppeteers.
[01:42.01] It's really hard to believe what you 've been watching is lifeless wood and cloth.
