Moscow State Circus is coming to Harpenden this week with a new show entitled ‘7 Zhelaniy’.

Based on the Russian folklore story of Cvetik-Semicvetik, or ‘the flower with seven colours’ the show features Professor Wacko and his crazy sidekick, Natalia Mezentceva.

Ballerinas, roller-skaters and a springboard troupe will take to the circus ring on Harpenden Common for four performances over the weekend.

The audience will be treated to flying, back-flipping, juggling and wire-walking acts, guiding them through the Russian tale.
