Paranormal circus set to haunt Utah this August

SALT LAKE CITY ( ABC4 ) — Cirque Italia is set to thrill Utah this August with its frightening “Paranormal Cirque II” show.

“Paranormal Cirque II” will be scaring audiences from Aug. 2 – 5 in Salt Lake City at White Ball Park under the black and red big top tent. There will also be showings in Provo from Aug. 9 -12 at the Provo Towne Centre under the orange-striped big top tent.

According to a press release, this horror-themed show is meant for mature audiences, with adult language and material. The show blends theater, circus, and cabaret with a “new European-style flare.”

“You will fall into a parallel world and end up surrounded by monstrous creatures with hidden talents that will amaze you with the circus arts. This show is NOT for the faint of heart. You may have to catch your breath or try to stop your heart from racing during this adrenaline-filled performance,” the press release said.

The release said that a careful casting selection was made to unite some of the best artists from all over the world for this haunting experience. Attendees can expect to be awed by the Wheel of Death and mystifying magic, among other circus arts.

Tickets can be purchased starting at $20 online, depending on availability. The show is restricted, meaning those under 18 need to be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian over 21 with a valid photo ID. No one under the age of 13 will be permitted.
