Today is Sunday..a pure fun day!! I went to see the circus called Nataraj Circus. The circus is wonderful and I got to see the show that lasted for 2 and half hours. It was in our Talapark. The circus was based in Kerala. The circus had shows at 2 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7 a.m. I was quite happy to see the funny clowns and the wonderful trapeze shows and elephants playing cricket.
The show started with balancing acts by a girl followed by a group of girls in a revolving table. The show had young performers and a large number of boys are performing and assisting the performers.
Shows with The Dog: The dogs are passing through the ring, they are balancing over each other and moving with the wheel. They are moving on 2 legs instead of 4.
Shows with The Elephant: The elephant can identify numbers. The instructor asked the audience to tell numbers and the elephant is picking up numbers. The elephant did some acting. One laid down and pretended to be sick and the other with spectacle and stethoscope came to the sick one and put the stethos like the doctor and that acting to tell you the truth was great!!!
Shows with The Girls: A girl stood over rope and was putting cups over her head with her legs. She put 7 to 8 cups over her head.
A group of girls in a revolving table posed one over the other and in different poses of like Lord Nataraj and it was wonderful and fascinating to see them perform.
Girls with bicycles, here some healthy looking girls are taken and each show accompanied by music making it more charming and soothing to the audience. The girls first posed in the following ways:
- Cycling with one leg.
- Posing with the paddle holding it hand.
- Sitting on one side, etc.
Girl with World’s Smallest Bicycle, here the girl rode the very small cycle with tyres the size of a cake was cycling along the borders of the show area and it was amazing!!
Dare Devil Boy: Here the boy was playing with fire, spraying fire through the mouth, dancing with fire on the two wrists, passing below fire bars, and girls dancing in front of him. He has a nice muscular chest and he was looking like any damn good bodybuilder!! Ooooh!!!
Clowns: Two clowns were there. One clown was sitting and another was cutting his hair and it made people laugh as the scissors are unusually large!! The clowns entered the trapeze and due to his huge pant of a normal person it fell and the audience laughed!! The clowns were a major attraction of the show!!
Hippopotamus Walking: The hippopotamus was walking slowly across the circus area and it was wonderful to see huge mouth of hippo swallowing food and its glossy body shining in the bright lights!!
Trapeze Shows: Trapeze shows are wonderful and the group of boys started the show and before this show, the area was covered with protective nets. The boys are jumping from one side to another. Then the girl jumped from one side and another boy held her. Trapeze shows is a matter of great timing and the show ended nicely and everybody seemed satisfied!!
The major attraction of the show was beautiful presentation of the trapeze and the balancing act of the girls. The elephants are wonderful who were playing cricket like Sachin Tendulkar scoring six at ease!! If they had been at international cricket team, they would have scored more runs and made world record like Brian Lara!
Anyway if Nataraj Circus comes to your city, you will enjoy it.
