Káprázat és Csoda

While in Hungary, I had the pleasure of attending Káprázat és Csoda, the show currently being performed at Fõvárosi Nagycirkusz, Budapest's permanent circus space. This was my first time seeing a circus show in Eastern Europe so I really had no idea what to expect. But even if I had had expectations going in, I really don't think anything could have prepared me for Káprázat és Csoda...

 Behold the majesty!

Snakes! Fire! Some dude juggling a crocodile!

I almost died from an overdose of cheese and awesome.

Try and imagine it... drag queens in disco ball outfits playing the drums, pirates, mermaids doing an aerial act while suspended from a woman, a bubble act, a domestic cat act, sequined fig leaves covering men's junk, Vegas showgirls, a swinging pirate ship act, a Jack Sparrow inspired clown, and a gender unknown chubby kid with no coordination portraying an angel for no reason whatsoever...

 

And that's not the half of it. I say that because my camera's batteries died before we reached the end of the first half. So while I may not have any pictures to illustrate my adventures at Budapest's circus, I do have something better...
