Kosair Shrine Circus

Opening Ceremony

Recently I got the opportunity to take my kids to the Kosair Circus. We were very excited about our front row seats! The circus began with the opening ceremony performance.



Taming the Tiger!



This was followed by the tigers and the ring master show. It reminded me of the movie "Life of a Pi" where the main character, stranded with the tiger in an ocean, tries to tame the tiger.



The trapeze artists then showed their talent. After this was a performance with artists wearing illuminant butterfly costumes and flying around. This show was followed by another show in which the performers were lifted by their hair!

Then it was the animals turn (the kids favorite!), there was a synchronized camel performance and an elephant show followed by synchronized elephant performance. There was a poodle show as well.

During the intermission, kids got to ride animals: elephants, pony and camel. "I" took the elephant ride with her Flat Stanley (Visits with Flat Stanley is one of the projects she is doing for a friend and I would be blogging about it when its done).

 After the intemission there were juggler and clown shows and artist balancing on a vertically rotating structure. The climax shows were "MotorCycle Show" and "Human Launch Show". They left the crowd stunning and aweing.

The whole circus had good mix of intense and non-intense performances to keep the audience glued to their seats.
