Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey will present the “Fully Charged” show at the Arena at Gwinnett Thursday, Feb. 23, through Sunday, Feb. 26.
“Fully Charged,” the all-new surge of circus entertainment from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey features breathtaking dare-devilry, superhuman stunts and never-before-seen performances that energize children of all ges.The amazing acts, which can only be seen at The Greatest Show On Earth, include Tabayara, a dynamic animal trainer whose rare ability to communicate with animals allows him to ride rearing stallions at a fully charged gallop and orchestrate majestic four-ton Asian Elephants in a symphony of dance. When he stands inside a cage, eye to eye with twelve ferocious tigers, Tabayara sees family where others see danger.
The Fearless Fernandez Brothers dial up the thrills as they perform daring feats of athleticism on the Twin Turbines of Steel, including, extreme jumps and twists inside the moving wheels. Audiences will crackle with excitement as they watch Guillermo perform a three hundred sixty degree flying forward somersault, three stories in air, a feat so difficult it has only been attempted by one other person in the 141-year history of Ringling Bros.
The Human Fuse, Brian Miser, sets the arena sky ablaze as he rockets through the air from his self-made human crossbow. Don’t blink as he flashes across the sky in less than a second, and travels 80 feet at 65 miles per hour.
Ever wonder how many clowns it takes to change a light bulb? The hilarious hoopla continues to flow as the clowns from the world-famous Ringling Bros. “clown-alley,” charge-up the audiences’ funny bones with hysterical silly antics and clownish comedy.
Prior to each show, an “all access power up pre show” will be featured. Guests will be able to step inside the rings one hour before show time to visit with elephants and dogs, learn how to juggle with a clown or participate in a dance party. The pre show will also provide visitors the opportunity to see an elephant paint, try on a costume, clown around and shake paws with a performing pound puppy. The pre show is free to all ticket holders.
Since its first show in 1871, the spirit of artists performing in what has become known as The Greatest Show On Earth® has fascinated onlookers and established the foundation for success of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® Circus. The all live performances, full of comedy, grace, color, precision, athleticism, suspense, music and the harmonious interaction of humans and animals, bring people back time and time again. Ringling Bros.® is part of the American cultural heritage and is the only show business phenomenon to run in three consecutive centuries.
Ringling Bros. is a 141-year tradition that combines the classics – extraordinary animal performances, captivating clown escapades and daring high-wire acts – with contemporary surprises and thrills to make the circus-going experience memorably unique. Families can depend upon Ringling Bros. to return the same time every year with a new show, and it is a family tradition handed down from generation to generation.
