MOOSE JAW — Moose Jaw is getting a second sneak peek at the Europa Super Circus before the Big Top rises later this month.
From Thursday, July 31 to Sunday, Aug. 3, the high-energy European circus will transform the Town ‘N’ Country Mall’s parking lot into a whirlwind of lights, laughter, and high-flying stunts. It’s the troupe’s first-ever Canadian appearance — and they’re pulling out all the stops.
Showtimes run at 7 p.m. on Thursday, July 31; 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 1; 1:30, 4:30, and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 2; and 1:30 and 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 3. All performances are held under a fully covered Big Top tent and will go ahead rain or shine.
Ticket prices start at $25 for children and $35 for adults, with VIP, ringside, and preferred seating available online at SuperCircus.com. Admission is free for kids under three and in-person sales are available until they’re sold out.
While the headliners may already be familiar to readers — including tight-wire veteran Geoffrey Berhault and aerialist Desiré Cardinali Chaves — there’s plenty of additional talent joining the international ensemble, including several fresh faces not yet reported in earlier coverage.
Among them is Duo Cirque, featuring aerial artists Kirsten Rowe and Misael Vazquez, whose soaring acrobatic routines on straps and pole tell a romantic story of connection — all while suspended metres above the ring.
Canadian talent is also well-represented in the lineup, with aerialist and contortionist Ess Hödlmoser set to take the stage. Known for previous performances with Cirque du Soleil and the Moulin Rouge, Hödlmoser brings a balletic athleticism to every spin, twist, and drop — and may even look familiar to sharp-eyed viewers of The Boys or Station Eleven, where they’ve also appeared as a stunt performer.
For those seeking high-octane thrills, 19-year-old motocross rider Kaden Davidson is revving up for his Moose Jaw debut. Hailing from a small town with big dreams, Davidson has spent over a decade perfecting his freestyle jumps and backflips — and said there’s nothing quite like the roar of the crowd under the circus lights.
Organizers encourage guests to arrive early, especially those requiring accessible seating. Onsite staff will be available to assist as needed.
Meanwhile, the Town ’N’ Country Mall is adding extra fun with a circus ticket giveaway. Five lucky winners will receive free family passes to the show. Residents can enter by liking the mall’s Facebook giveaway post at “Town N Country Mall,” or by bringing a mall receipt to the administration office for bonus entries. The contest closes July 20, with winners drawn July 21.
So whether it’s your first time under the tent or you’re coming back for more, this circus is ready to roll out the red carpet — and maybe even a few fire hoops — for kids of all ages.
The Town ‘N’ Country Mall is located at 1235 Main Street North. For more information and to purchase your tickets, visit SuperCircus.com.
