Season 2003 

The programme"Along with the time" was created by circus director Oksana Druzhinina. Young artists, costumes in the "high tech" style, interesting stage design and up-to-date music.

  Much more than usual attention was paid to the Big circus orchestra, which was placed at the large stage upon the forgang. Lev Zemlinski wrote original music and made several arrangements for the orchestra. Traditional wind instruments were combined with synthesizers, exotic drum loops and overdriven guitar. Both ordinary viewers and professionals were impressed by modern orchestra sound, so unusual for traditional Moscow circus.
