The first part of the festival's show will not be a traditional circus performance but rather a unique combination of a musical, revue, and theater inspired by the iconic Addams Family from the popular film series.

Organizers announce that there will be no emcee introductions and no clear divisions between the various attractions. The show will feature characters known from the beloved Addams universe, including children's favorite, Wednesday Addams.

The artists will wear costumes inspired by the dark aesthetics of the Addams Family, and the atmosphere will be enhanced by characteristic music.

The program will include attractions such as motorcyclists in the death globe, where, for the first time in Poland, six riders will perform simultaneously inside one metal sphere; the acrobatic quartet Aquamen; and a ten-member gymnastic team known from the show "Got Talent."

Additional performances will feature acrobats in water balls, aerial silk gymnastics, and Sergei Ivanov, a master of hand-balancing.

The festival will take place in Warsaw from October 5 to 27, on Saturdays and Sundays, under "the Cathedral," one of the largest circus tents in Europe, belonging to Circus Zalewski.

The tent is set up near Metro Ulrychów, next to Wola Park in Warsaw.
