The stage holds 35,000 gallons of water and circus members perform daring acts in and around curtains of fountain jets and simulated rain.

“At Cirque Italia, the high-energy acts swing from ropes, flip over trapezes, and zip by on BMX bikes and roller skates—pushing the boundaries of human ability,” reads the event’s website.

“Founder Manuel Rebecchi -- the nephew of Moira Orfei, the world-renowned queen of the Italian circus -- combined his family’s pedigree with his own groundbreaking ideas to form a company that leaves crowds breathless and competitors hurrying to catch up.”

Tickets range from $25-$50 for adults and $10-$45 for children. Tickets can be purchased here.
