Oxford Valley Mall Hosting Cirque Italia Water Circus

MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, PA —The circus has come to town —well, the Oxford Valley Mall —through Sunday.

The White & Blue Big Top Tent can be spotted in the mall parking lot near the J.C. Penney as the Oxford Valley Mall presents "The Magical World Of Cirque! Cirque Italia —Gold.

The Cirque Italia Water Circus Gold features high-energy acts that swing from ropes, flip over trapezes, and zip by on BMX bikes and roller skates—pushing the boundaries of human ability.

The circus will stage seven shows over its four days at the mall.

Shows start at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday. There are three shows on Saturday (1:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m., 7:30 p.m.) and two on Sunday (1:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.)

Tickets cost between $15 to $60. The circus offers a free child ticket with every full-priced adult ticket in levels 2 or 3. Tickets can be purchased online.

Cirque Italia reflects a unique attribute under its tents, as the show features many custom-designed elements that travel from city to city.

Cirque Italia has designed for two traveling water shows —Silver Unit and Gold Unit —a stage that holds 35,000 gallons of water that performers dazzle over while thrilling the audience with every move.

Starting with its creation in 2012, the Water Circus has advanced into one of the most innovative traveling shows to be staged in the United States. In 2017, Cirque Italia launched a second Water Circus, according to its website.

The circus appeared at the Neshaminy Mall in Bensalem Township earlier this summer.
