Roll up, Roll up: Circus 1903 is coming to Dubai
From concerts to comedy shows, the Dubai calendar is packed this year. And while those offer excellent entertainment, Circus 1903 is making its way to Dubai.
Taking place from 20 to 22 June, the internationally acclaimed Circus 1903 is rolling into Coca-Cola Arena. This time-travelling experience brings the golden age of the big top to life in Dubai. Expect skaters, acrobats, aerialists and even death-defying trapeze artists.
Created by Simon Painter and Tim Lawson, the masterminds behind global hits like The Illusionists, Le Grand Cirque, and Cirque Adrenaline, Circus 1903 combines classic circus acts with theatrical flair. One of its standout elements is the return of elephants to the ring — only this time, it is through puppetry. You'll get to meet Queenie and Peanut, a mother-and-baby elephant duo, wherein the calf is taught how to perform in a circus. These elephant-puppets' lifelike movements will make you awe.
Circus 1903 is ideal for all ages. It offers a family-friendly experience that's both thrilling and heartwarming. Whether you're reliving your childhood memories or introducing your kids to the magic of the circus for the first time, this show hits all the right notes.
Tickets for Circus 1903 are now live, starting at AED 125 and going up to AED 999. There are only five shows happening throughout the course of three days, each one 90 minutes long. So make sure you grab your passes before they run out — which they're expected to.
Whether you're a circus aficionado or just looking for a fresh way to spend the weekend with the fam, Circus 1903 is where you ought to be. See you under the big top.

There is a video on the Unitree website of it opening a bottle of Coca-Cola and crushing nuts. The robot has 360 degree cameras enabling it to take in its environment.
