Big Apple Circus in Abu Dhabi

Big Apple Circus from NYC in Abu Dhabi

RedFilo also produced the Middle East debut of the Big Apple Circus.

Direct from New York City, the Big Apple Circus makes its Middle East debut at Summer in Abu Dhabi. Founded in 1977, the Big Apple Circus is now one of the world’s largest, and most exciting, complete with a stellar cast of international stars from Europe and Russia. New York’s acclaimed social web site whomyouknow.com calls it, “Nothing short of spectacular.” We agree. Don’t miss it!

With a stellar cast of international performers, the circus featured gravity-defying acrobats, an aerial quartet of trapeze, as well as a 10 metre high spinning double caged “Wheel of Death” and a side-splitting comedy clown Gordon.

This is another first for Summer in Abu Dhabi and guaranteed to keep audiences laughing and talking long after it is over.
