Continental Circus Berlin - an amalgamation of brilliant circus acts, music & real youthful energy - is coming to Branksome Recreation Ground, Alder Road, Poole, Thursday 25th to Tuesday 30th August.

In an age where so much entertainment is unreal, made up of special effects, CGI and has a virtual reality, or is pre-recorded, multi-tracked, digitally enhanced or in some other way electronically created - the sheer reality of a live show with live music is a breath of fresh air and the feats and skills seen at Continental Circus Berlin are often so amazing that the Circus-goer literally can not believe their eyes.

Housed in a climatically controlled Theatre style big top, this magical production is brimming with an international cast of mesmerizing artistes, packed full of comedy, astounding jugglers, breathtaking balancing act’s, a trio of aerial beauties on a revolving structure high in the roof of the big top – gyrating hula hoop sensation, Herculean hand balancing, beautiful contortionist who fires an arrow from a bow WITH HER FEET, and even the latest sensation - the Laser Man.

You will see lightning bolt like lasers firing from all his fingers & completely engulfing the whole of the arena with sensational laser beams.

Continental Circus Berlin will be touring the UK for a mere 24 weeks so make certain this sure fire hit is definite for your diary.
