Cirque Italia bringing 'water circus' to Gurnee
Posted November 03, 2019 10:00 pm
Cirque Italia is bringing a new water circus show to Gurnee this week, aiming to transport audiences to the port cities of Italy using a unique "water stage."
Under the blue and white big top tent outside Gurnee Mills, the stage has been made to look like a large ship, which is outfitted with Bellagio-style decorative water fountains.
The show will run for nine performances from Nov. 6 through Nov. 10.
According to a release, each of the acts is themed after an Italian city.
The acts include contortion, archery, aerial gymnastics, clowning and a "Wheel of Death."
The show is for all ages. Tickets run from $10 to $40 and are available at cirqueitalia.com/tickets.
Cirque Italia's water circus offers a variety of acts offering a virtual tour through Italy.
