Title Water Circus and Ice Circus
Abstract/Description No indication of location. Like Cirque du Soleil – there is a singer wandering round, and quite artistic aesthetic. But tape is labeled in Russian. And then there is a dog act. Must be Russian! Ring is a mixture of water and a stage for acts like the dog act. Hoops in water with synchro swimming. Pretty spectacle. Skipping rope act. ------ Eventually the stage area goes and instead there’s a small platform in middle. Tape of a complete show. Has a seal act. Then Ice circus – in ring/circus building – skating on stilt like skates; German wheel on ice. Musical clown group on ice – start with performance of Prokofiev with conductor – it’s all going horribly wrong. Perch act on ice. The act – clownish is performing to a Turkish hit song by Tarkan from 1999 so that might roughly date the tape. There is a cowboy whip cracking and skipping act – to country music.
