FAQ

What people usually ask before booking

How long is a performance?

Depends on the act: the ladder juggler runs 6 minutes in the classic version and 12 in the comic one; the transforming tube — 6 minutes with audience interaction. Several acts can be combined into a programme, with timing agreed around your schedule.

How much set-up time is needed?

Depends on the act. The longest to set up is the flexible poles — about 1 hr 40 min for two poles. Other acts need considerably less. Exact timings for your venue are in the full rider.

What does the venue need to provide?

For most acts — clear level ground and 4.5 m of height. The flexible poles need 9 m or more (shopping centres work well); the equipment weighs 120 kg. Acts involving open flame are agreed with the venue separately.

How many performances fit into one day?

Up to 5 working sets per day. If an additional rehearsal takes place the same day — no more than two sets.

Do you travel to other cities?

Yes — across Russia, and abroad by arrangement (11 countries toured to date). We bring our own equipment and artistes. For out-of-town engagements the organiser provides accommodation, three meals a day and a warm room to wait in between appearances.

How much does it cost?

There's no fixed price list — it depends on the act, running time, date and city. Send a brief through the form below (date, city, event format) and you'll get a quote within 1–2 days.

How far in advance should we book?

The earlier the better — especially for the New Year and May holidays, when dates go early. If your date is already close, write or call anyway: a slot may still be free.

How is it all arranged?

You send a brief → within 1–2 days you get a quote and act suggestions → you agree the details and technical rider → you book the date. For companies we prepare a service agreement and an invoice. For questions about prepayment, cancellation or rescheduling it's best to ask directly — +7 911 913-83-74.
