Silvers Circus Spectacular are raising money for flood affected Victorians while bringing their world-class performance to the Woodgrove Shopping Centre in Melton.
Profits from Silvers’ performance on Wednesday, November 23 will be donated to the Red Cross.
General manager Dominik Gasser said the towns affected by floods have supported Silvers Circus Spectacular over the many years they have been touring.
“We think it’s now time to give our support in their time of need,” he said.
Silvers has delighted audiences for about 45 years, and Ringmaster Michael Keen said the family business is constantly looking for ways to innovate for the next generation.
The dancer and acrobat said it’s a “great feeling” performing alongside so many talented and hardworking people.
Mr Keen said audiences can expect a well coordinated, well choreographed, tight performance with some of the best acts from across the globe.
“We have acrobats, we have motorbike riders, we have aerialists, we have families that perform together, father daughter acts that are super cute and super impressive,” he said.
Mr Keen’s own journey into circus arts began as a child in Perth riding motorbikes, he realised he enjoyed throwing himself through the air more than most.
“The skill with it is being very comfortable, and enjoying it makes it a lot better because you enjoy practicing and enjoy testing yourself, finding out how you fly,” he said.
Mr Keen said Silvers Circus Spectacular will be performing at Woodgrove Shopping Centre until Sunday, November 27.
“Come on down, we’re here, there’s a heated big top, there’s fans, so whether it’s hot or cold we can keep you happy and we think people will have a great time,” he said.
