Show Overview
Pluma Circus is Dubai's premier contemporary circus — a show that strips away traditional animal acts and replaces them with world-class human performance. Expect acrobats, aerialists on silks and straps, contortionists, hand-balancers, and a live band playing original music throughout.
The show runs 75 minutes in an intimate purpose-built tent at Dubai Festival City. It's family-friendly and appeals to all ages — kids love the visual spectacle, adults appreciate the artistry and athleticism. There's audience interaction, comedy beats, and a genuinely emotional finale.
Performed by 30+ artists from around the world — many from Cirque du Soleil, Cirque Éloize, and similar world-class companies. Every act is choreographed to live music (no playback), which makes each show subtly unique.
Perfect for families, couples, and anyone wanting a joyful, accessible evening show. Hotel pickup and drop-off included.

What Our Guests Say
Absolutely magical! Kids (5 and 8) were spellbound the entire time. The aerial straps finale gave me chills. Way better than I expected from a "circus" show.
Wonderful show — the live music makes it feel so much more authentic than typical circus performances. Front row seats were worth it — the artists came right up to us!
