The building was amazing, and like going to Cirque in Vegas had a great surround stage, and a large number of apparatus in the ceiling. Most of the acts didn't use them, however. One of the first acts was this couple who used two guys and a board to both spring from and/or be thrown into the air where they did a series of flips and then came down on the board again with two feet. Hannah's photo caught her in mid-air.....and here is a sequence of him, taking off, in the air and landing...
The circus band played all night long, and there was a laser light display that accompanied most of the acts as w
ell! 
ell! 
Next came a family group of acrobats and fliers, who sent the youngest members up in the air by jumping on a spring board....
For the finale, they had one guy on a single stilt who was tossed in the air on a stick, did four flips in the air and landed...quite impressive really!! Here's the sequence in photos....

Every circus has its main stars, and in Izhevsk, it's these two guys who are both jugglers and animal trainers....Here they are with a couple of fans...a young man and his baboushka (grandmother)...
They are also the lion and tiger tamers. Their animal act is the grand finale....Ladies and gentlemen...in the center ring...
And yes, that lion jumped all the way over to the other wheel with the guy on his back! He complained pretty loudly the whole time, as would I.... Hope you enjoyed the show. Goodnight everyone....
