About 100 interchangeable acts from show to show involve 180 Tihany personnel. When this circus in its
huge pink vinyl anti-flammable tent comes to town, about 200 local persons are employed to help set up and otherwise work.<br>

With popcorn and drinks in hand, while avoiding buying lighted, high-tech-looking glowing toys, we settled in for this circus.<br>

The show we saw opened with air-bound acrobats, flying like comets, challenging gravity and landing in
a "net of dreams."  They definitely had our attention as did the rest of the performances. In between excellent jugglers, acrobats and illusionists are the glamerous men and women in Paris'
glamour and Las Vegas' glitz, with all of the technological color, lights and action around us. <br>
Richard Massone is at the heart of it all, directing action with his humor. Some children from the audience
become wonderful participants.<br>
 
One act that stands out for me is one of body balancing with Enkhbat and Amara from Mongolia. As they say, "Reaching mutation from their human self to that of steel and iron powerful giants." Of course we
loved the few animals in the show. A simple "duck act" with a child participating from the audience was one
of the most delightful. That duck is talented as well as mighty brave!<br>
 
One of the closing acts is alone worth the price of the ticket. As described, "Drawing great brilliant
figures in the air turning to glowing display, achieving the audience's astonishment as they graze their heads at speeds that surpass the light."

Just go! Don`t hesitate. Enjoy and have fun.
