After the spectacular displays of the football season, you’d be forgiven for thinking the Etihad Stadium will close its doors for the summer months. But for the last week of May the East Manchester-based Sports City complex will be alive with the “world’s most famous circus”, the Moscow State Circus. Featuring the awesome feats of skilful balance and precise teamwork at dizzying heights, this month they’re calling in Manchester with their brand new performance of Zhelaniy, the Russian folk tale of Cvetik-Semicvetik (‘the flower with seven colours’) by Benjamin Losin. Expect to see wirewalkers, ballerinas, roller-skaters, daredevils and all your favourite circus creativity under the big top.
