CORALVILLE, IOWA (July 29, 2019) — Each year since its beginning in 2012, Cirque Italia has strived to bring a new, unique experience to the people of the many wonderful towns of the United States. This year, they have decided to bring along some Italian towns. You don’t have to travel to Europe for a taste of Italian culture — they have brought it to you.

Cirque Italia have transformed their stage into a large ship for this year’s water circus experience. They will continue to feature our unique water stage, but this year, they have brand-new Bellagio-style fountains included.

Just as Italy offers a wide variety of food, culture, and personalities, Cirque Italia is pleased to offer an amazing variety of acts featuring performers from around the globe. They don’t want to reveal too many of the surprises they have in store, but some of their magnificent acts include: contortion, mesmerizing magic, heart-stopping archery, elegant aerialists, and the always-exciting Wheel of DEATH. Not only will you see breath-taking acts from world-class performers, but each act will have a unique theme associated with it. The themes are based on the port towns they have decided to visit on this enchanted adventure. For instance, when they stop in Venice, you will see some beautiful Venetian masks.

Manuel Rebecchi, president and owner of Cirque Italia, is tremendously proud of his Italian heritage and feels extremely privileged to be able to share it with you in such a fun and memorable way. Their COO/Producer, Chanté DeMoustes, has visited several Italian cities herself, and has helped tailor this new performance to reflect a unique attribute from each one. 

Cirque Italia continues to contribute to the modernization of the performing arts and the circus industry by abiding by a strict animal-free policy.
