One of the best events and circus shows is right here in the Dearborn area this summer. You won’t want to miss Cirque Italia and their Water Circus shows!

Cirque Italia performs "Spectacular shows" in a stunning display of European flair. 

The fact that CIRQUE ITALIA comprises a variety of specially created elements and goes from city to city displays a distinctive quality under our tents. Silver Unit and Gold Unit, two transportable water performances created by Cirque Italia, include a stage holding 35,000 gallons of water that actors sparkle over as they enthrall the audience with every motion. Visitors will be amazed by this special feature under the tent since it is a performance all on its own! The newest production from Cirque Italia, "Paranormal Cirque," is geared for our older fans who wish to escape into an exhilarating experience.

History Of Cirque Italia

The American ideal and one stubborn Italian businessman, Manuel Rebecchi, came together to create Cirque Italia. The Water Circus has developed from its inception in 2012 into one of the most avant-garde touring productions ever presented in the United States. A second Water Circus was introduced by Cirque Italia in 2017, and in 2018 we are happy to introduce Paranormal Cirque, a strange but entertaining blend of circus, theater, and cabaret. Cirque Slammer is a new show with a jail theme that we just debuted in 2021.

The Story Of Cirque Italia

"Aquatic Spectacular" is presented by Cirque Italia. Since the performance utilizes a specially created water stage that moves from city to city, the name represents a distinctive feature under the tent. 35,000 gallons of water are on the stage, which the performers wow the audience with as they walk over it. Visitors will be amazed by this "special feature" under the tent since it is a unique show!

Cirque Italia, an Italian entertainment business founded in 2012, presents a show with a European flair. A "vivid, dramatic, and moving experience within a specialized traveling tent" is how it is characterized.

European Style

Cirque Italia combines a love of production with a passion for circus skills to provide a memorable evening.
The high-energy performers at Cirque Italia test the limits of human performance as they ride BMX bikes and roller skate through the crowd. In order to create a business that leaves people in awe and rivals scrambling to catch up, founder Manuel Rebecchi—the nephew of Moira Orfei, the well-known queen of the Italian circus—combined his family's history with his own ground-breaking concepts.

The acts, which were inspired by the element of water, use human movement to demonstrate variety and fluidity as shower curtains and fountain jets crisscross in time with each step. The interdimensional impression is additionally enhanced with laser lights and bubbles. Mermaids emerge from the depths, and even dinosaurs appear as a homage to the inner kid.

What do you use to decorate Easter eggs? Switch things up this year and try one of these creative ideas! From temporary tattoos to silk ties and even highlighters, these methods result in beautiful eggs that your kids can help make, too.

Tip: People often ask, do you need to boil eggs before dyeing them? And the answer is yes. This quick step will protect you from messy egg-dropping accidents—which are bound to happen when working with little kids. Plus, they’ll be ready to eat if you choose a food-safe decorating method.

Mixed Marbles

It doesn’t get much easier (or more fun) than dying eggs in Cool Whip. And it’s perfect for the little ones to get involved. Simply add a few drops of food coloring into a bowl full of dessert topping and swirl the color with a toothpick. Then, roll your eggs in the mixture until they’re completely covered and allow the color to set for about 30 minutes. Rinsing the eggs will reveal a beautiful pastel marbling that will look amazing on your Easter dinner table. If you’d like a brighter coloring to these eggs, let them sit in the dessert topping and food coloring for up to an hour. This method is super fun to do at an Easter egg decorating party.
 

Adorable Tattoos

Temporary tattoos aren’t just for little kids and birthday parties. Turn them into your next DIY Easter decoration! For this Easter egg decorating idea, apply themed temporary tattoos (we love these Easter tattoos from Amazon) to an egg’s surface the way you would on skin. You may have to smooth the tattoo onto the egg a bit after the tattoo’s backing is removed. To use up the leftovers, try one of these tasty hard boiled egg recipes.
 

Simple Paint

Get in touch with your natural side by painting simple designs—like florals, greenery or even a chicken—on hard boiled brown eggs. (If you don’t want to pay the extra few bucks, you can also lightly dye white eggs. And yes, there is a reason why brown eggs cost more.)
 

Golden Globes

If you’re all about elegance, these major metallics from Lily Ardor are right up your alley. The eggs are made with copper and gold leaf, which can be found on Amazon or your local craft stores. For a more modern vibe, add pops of geometric designs in 3-D black paint.
