Cirque Le Noir Abu Dhabi 2016

Cirque Le Noir comes to Abu Dhabi

World famous circus Cirque Le Noir is heading to the Middle East for a run of shows this March.

The circus, which has just completed sell out shows in Auckland, Sydney, Singapore and Christchurch, has also held residencies in Las Vegas and is one of the most stunning circus shows in the world.

They're best known for their complex stunts, including the Colombian Wheel of Death which features 2 acrobats on a pair of spinning wheels rotating high above the stage, performing high risk feats.

The circus has more than 20 different acts including 30ft high acrobats, roller skating stunts and comedy, with the audience almost part of the event as they sit in and around the performance thanks to a custom build 360 degree stage.

'Guided by impeccable spatial awareness, balance and stamina, each performer contributes to the unreal atmosphere as they glide through the air, swinging through a blur of hands and feet," event organisers said at the announcement of the show.

Cirque Le Noir takes place in Abu Dhabi on March 17, 18 and 19
