CIRCUS 1903 Singapore – The Golden Age Of Circus At Marina Bay Sands

Base Entertainment Asia invites you and your loved ones to discover the decadence, grandeur and romance of an authentic, vintage circus with CIRCUS 1903 Singapore – The Golden Age of Circus at The Mastercard Theatre, Marina Bay Sands. While the acts contain all the thrills and daredevil entertainment one would expect from a circus, CIRCUS 1903 offers an exciting new twist.

CIRCUS 1903 Singapore – What’s With The Hype?

Exquisitely crafted by the producers of the biggest selling magic show in the world, The Illusionists, and award-winning puppeteers of War Horse, CIRCUS 1903 will transport you to the bygone era when the circus was immersed in death-defying high-wire acts, bicycle wheel of death, knife-throwers and more.

Thanks to sensational puppetry, on a never-seen-before scale, by model makers who created the National Theatre’s War Horse, CIRCUS 1903 will bring the largest ever performing African elephants to life, in the ring. These puppets feature ground-breaking advances in design and expression – a mother and baby elephant which takes four puppeteers to animate will captivate audiences with their life-like movements as the mother teaches her baby to perform in the circus.

No journey into The Golden Age of Circus would be complete without The Ringmaster whose commanding presence and panache will entertain you and your young ones as he breaks the fourth wall, inviting members into the ring, to be part of the live performance through magical routines and gut-busting jokes. To be honest, he and the kids are really quite the stars of the show!

Giving life to a show not seen in 100 years, are producers Simon Painter and Tim Lawson, who have created Le Grand Cirque, Le Noir, Cirque Adrenaline and The Illusionists in over 250 cities from London to Sydney to Broadway, as well as presenting A Chorus Line, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Fiddler on the Roof through Australia and Asia. Following the world premiere season in Australia CIRCUS 1903 – The Golden Age of Circus transferred directly to Los Angeles and New York.

To recreate the grand days of the circus that will keep the audience on the edge of their seats, scenic artist Todd Ivins has designed an extraordinary and decadent circus tent. Act 1 is set in front of the circus with trucks, props and rigging. Whilst Act 2 features the tent, flagpoles and rigging being raised into the roof of the theatre.

Further adding to the period feel are recreations of the original turn-of-the-century circus costumes designed by Angela Aaron. These were inspired by authentic photographic collections, studying historical museum pieces and discussing with experts and historians. And accentuating the appropriate accents to the acts is music and soundtrack composed by Evan Jolly, who has composed many of Painter and Lawson’s international hits.

From flagpoles and rigging being raised into the roof of the theatre, exotic elephants, contortionists, acrobats, stilt-walkers and to other circus folk performing circus acts from history, CIRCUS 1903 is a unique and captivating circus extravaganza that is perfect for audiences of all ages.
