Cirque du Soleil is Back

Cirque du Soleil Returns to St. Pete Big Top in BAZZAR

Cirque du Soleil, the spellbinding performing troupe that mixes traditional circus acts with modern acrobatics, is debuting a new show — BAZZAR — in St. Petersburg from February 22 to March 24 at Tropicana Field. Set under the iconic Big Top, the high-energy spectacle features acrobats, dancers and musicians performing dynamic stunts in unpredictable scenarios that pay homage to the legendary entertainment company’s legacy. Led by their maestro, the performers band together to invent a whimsical oneof-a-kind universe. This “BAZZAR” awaits one and all to claim their spot in its marketplace of merriment and creative camaraderie.

The show features an international cast of 35 performers, including teeterboard, acrobatic bike, contortion, duo roller skate, duo trapeze, aerial rope, hair suspension, fire manipulation, slackline, and, for the first time in Cirque du Soleil history, Mallakhamb – a traditional Indian sport in which a gymnast performs aerial yoga postures.

The last time Cirque du Soleil performed in Tampa Bay was November 2016 with KOOZA! Cirque du Soleil started in 1984 as a group of 20 street performers highlighting juggling, dancing, fire breathers, and musicians in a small town outside of Quebec City. They have since entertained over 100 million spectators in 40 countries.

Shows run Wednesday through Sunday; tickets start at $42 adults/$33 children plus tax and fees. For more information and tickets, go to: www.cirquedusoleil.com/bazzar.
