The Magic Circus of Samoa, a must-see show |12 October 2013

Inside the big tent at Freedom Square, it was all about laughter and great fun as adults and children alike experienced a first-ever live circus performance on our soil.

The much-talked about Magic Circus of Samoa is finally here and is dazzling our people with their ‘magic’ touch.

Jugglers, acrobats, aerialists, unicyclists, fire dancers, and dancers were all showcasing the best of their talents yesterday inside the big tent.

Among those present for the official opening of the circus show which will run until October 29 were Vice-President Danny Faure, chief executive of the Seychelles Tourism Board Sherin Naiken and a great crowd.

The Magic Circus of Samoa will be in the country until October 29.

Despite the majority of its performers hailing from Samoa, the circus is a cosmopolitan group with crew members from India, Nepal, Fiji, France, Ethiopia and Kiribati.

Toetu the clown standing less than a metre in height amazed the crowd and had everyone laughing with his unique talent.
