Circuses have been around since 18th century England, but over the years circuses have had to adapt in order to appeal to a modern day audience.
Although traditional circuses have become fewer in number, this concept has not been forgotten. Instead it is being re-invented with Companies such as The Moscow State Circus who are finding new ways of attracting audiences, by combining contemporary ideas with classic showmanship.
Emma Bottamley takes a look at the Moscow State Circuses new production – Babushkin Sekret to find out what makes people still love going to the circus.
