Slava Polunin

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of its UK debut, Slava’s Snowshow has captivated audiences across the globe, melting hearts and transforming sensible adults into awestruck children. A beautifully crafted combination of theatrical clowning and stunning spectacle, Slava’s Snowshow is performed by a world-renowned company of clowns led by Slava Polunin, the Artistic Director of the St. Petersburg Circus.

Slava’s Snowshow combines the unbridled silliness of slapstick with visual extravagance and beauty, all of which has established Slava as a creative genius of international acclaim. Influenced by artists such as Chaplin and Marcel Marceau, Slava and his company have taken clowning out of the world of circus, and brought it to theatre lovers and families worldwide.

Slava creates a joyous dream-like world, where one astonishing image melts into the next. Unlike anything you’ve seen before, audiences step into a world where a web of cotton envelopes the auditorium, and a love letter turns into snowflakes, the flakes turn into a blizzard, and a raging, whirling, heart-stopping snowstorm appears before your eyes.
