Hello everyone!

I'm a huge fan of circuses, and I've been to my fair share of shows. I don't have any preconceived notions about animal cruelty during training - as long as the animals look well-groomed and healthy, I'm good to go.

Gia Eradze's show promised to be a real spectacle, and boy, was it ever.

"5 CONTINENTS" is a real circus extravaganza with over 100 performers, an incredible variety of animals, and a huge number of costumes.

I've been following Gia Eradze in the media, and I've got to say, I'm a big fan. I was really impressed by the Zapashny brothers' show, and I'm eagerly waiting for them to come to our city.

Given the show's title, it's clear that it'll be a celebration of national cultures from around the world.

The show started with the curtains opening, and from that moment on, it was non-stop action.

And then the performers took to the stage, dressed as mummies and the Earth.

I was blown away by the opening act - the performers scattered across the arena, and on the globe, white doves flew in. It was like a dove of peace, I guess.

The next act was a family duo of aerial gymnasts, Anton Dubinenko and Albina Sabirova. I did look them up online, because their performance always gives me the chills. They were mimes, which was clear from their makeup and costumes.

The show was a real treat, with a mix of emotions that left me speechless. I didn't even bother taking photos, I was too busy watching with my mouth open.Another standout act was a family duo of clowns - Alexander and Lada Sarnatskii, aka Dolly and Domino.

These performers had the crowd in stitches during the breaks between acts, showcasing their various talents - cup-and-ball tricks, juggling, and even drawing portraits. It's then that you realize being a clown isn't just about cracking jokes to get a laugh, but a complex and demanding profession that requires all-around development, a true circus expert.

The acrobats' act in flags of the world was dynamic and just as vibrant. I mean, it was literally vibrant - the colors, the energy, the whole thing was just wow.

What really caught my eye were the guys who came out before the trained bison - they were dressed up as ancient gods. And get this - they came out of the wings, just like the regular performers, not some VIP treatment.

The trained bison were a real surprise. I've always thought that cows and bulls were pretty dumb animals, and that the most you could teach a bull was to run around in circles or something. But these guys were jumping around like horses, following each other in a perfect line, and even doing some kind of dance.

And let's be real, the sheer size of these animals is just mind-boggling. I mean, how do they even do it?Of course, there were other animals in the show too, but the bison were definitely the stars of the show.

What really caught my eye was the animal display - we had camels, horses, panthers, tigers, lionesses, leopards, bears, and pythons.

The camel and python number was merged into one. It was supposed to represent Arab culture, but I think it was explained better by the monitor above the main exit and the images being displayed there.

The girls in peacock costumes were absolutely stunning. They didn't do anything particularly impressive, no acrobatic stunts, but their costumes were so good that I think a lot of people thought they'd stumbled into a Brazilian carnival.

I've got to give credit to the costume designers on this show - each outfit was meticulously thought out. And it's not just the main characters' costumes that impressed me, but also the details on the extras' outfits. Many of them were adorned with sequins, rhinestones that sparkled beautifully under the stage lights.

I was blown away by the costumes - they were sleek, shiny, and just plain beautiful! The concept was really unique and original too.

It was a real treat to see Tatiana Makhortova, the reigning 'Princess of the Russian Circus,' balance on a mirrored ball surrounded by six pairs of ballet dancers while spinning 40 hula hoops.

The Gypsy theme was executed beautifully in the show! The horses, the Gypsy dresses, the dark-haired beauties - and of course, my favorite - the bears.

I've gotta say, the Alexey and Ekaterina Plotnikov performance of 'Gypsy Wedding' was a real showstopper. The original choreography combined with the complexity of training those adorable bears was just incredible. I mean, who else gets to see bears dancing, walking on their front paws, jumping over each other, playing musical instruments, catching a bride's bouquet, and even riding a horse? It was a true spectacle.

I was blown away by how well the bears performed - they were jamming out on the balalaika and trumpet, pretending to be dead, dancing, and even riding a horse.

The second gypsy number had a horseman and a stunning gypsy woman.

I was blown away by the horse's ability to perform different steps in sync with the music. And the gypsy even put a scarf on their four-legged friend!The 'Golden Fish' number was a real showstopper too! I'll be raving about the costume design and choreography again.

'Golden Fish' is a real underwater world, with coral reefs, amazing sea creatures, and a harmonious life that's disrupted by a fishing boat, and then a dramatic storm hits. The performers in this number won the Grand Prix at the international circus arts festival in Latina, Italy.

The cat numbers, led by the esteemed Russian artists Natalia and Andrei Shirokalov, didn't quite wow me personally.

I was blown away by how well the lions listened to the trainers and performed tricks. Although there was a lioness who just wanted to lounge around with her paws stretched out - and let's be real, who can blame her? But what really got me was the roar on command. And, I guess, it's off topic, but it's a great example of how these animals don't get forced to do anything they don't want to. This lioness is the one on the left in the first photo. And I think it takes a lot of love for animals to do a job like this.

Another thing that surprised me was the female riders. Usually, it's the guys who do the acrobatic stunts on horseback, but I was impressed by how effortlessly the women rode their horses and performed tricks. It's like they're the embodiment of the Russian woman - strong and fearless.

I've also got to give props to the boldness of the design and the party vibes that are unmistakably Russian.

The drummer really brought a unique atmosphere to the show. He even got his own solo set, and it was totally worth it – the guy can play.

And it's not just the music that's impressive – the lighting, costumes, and overall production are all top-notch. Everything is carefully thought out and put together.

The aerialists closed out the show, and it was a real highlight.

Then the rest of the troupe joined in, and it was like a whole new level of energy.

The confetti flew, and the crowd erupted in applause!

But what really bugged me was that the performers weren't introduced at all. I guess they figured the website had all the info we needed, but it felt like they were just faceless figures on stage.

I'll give you the quick rundown. The performances were definitely show-stopping, but not all of them. The aerial gymnastics and acrobatics numbers were hands-down the most impressive, eclipsing the animal acts. Don't get me wrong, they weren't bad – they just got lost in the shuffle compared to the aerialists.

I almost forgot to mention the price. The ticket costs range from 1500 to 6000 rubles.

If you're on the fence about attending, I'd say go for it. These circus shows don't come to town often.

Thanks for reading!
