“Welcome to the North Pole Circus!” At the sound of the arctic wolf ringmaster’s voice, the polar bears’ graceful ice dance begins. Then come arctic hares jumping through rings of fire and arctic foxes on the trapeze.

The circus of all-white animals that comes floating along on some ice is strange, fun, and, for some reason, a little sad. Have a wonderful time at the dream-like show.
