The Cirque Italia Water Circus has officially concluded another show of dazzling tricks, funny moments and memorable performances that will leave fans waiting eagerly for the next Calgary tour date.
What makes this spectacle so special are the built-in fountains, jets, water curtains and choreographed water displays.
After each performance concluded, Cirque Italia made sure to keep the audience entertained with lots of laughs with their crowd work, going down to the spectator seating areas to interact with the fans, playing fun games with both adults and children.
At one point the actors brought a few members of the audience onto the stage to do some fun performances, keeping the spirits high and laughter constant.
The event was held at the CrossIron Mills shopping complex just outside of Calgary in Rocky View County at the end of September and spanned a 10-day period.Ā
