The Sorin Sirkus Christmas Show 2026 – Noctua
Dusk falls and the lights in the circus tent shut off. The audience has left, and the circus performers have gone back to their caravans. The silence is broken by the lonely cries of an owl.
The Christmas Show Noctua takes viewers of all ages into the magical and dreamlike world of the circus and the stories hidden within the old circus tent. This traditional Christmas-time event offers spectacular acrobatics, excitement, and memorable moments in the world of circus arts. Shining on stage are the young performers of Sorin Sirkus Performance Group, who are supported by a team of skilled professionals.
