Kyrgyz State Circus named after A. Izibaev

The Kyrgyz State Circus named after Abubakir Izibaev is a state circus venue and one of the city’s established cultural stages. Its circular building and spacious ring host productions by the resident company as well as touring circus shows for children and adults. The event calendar features acrobats, aerialists, equilibrists, jugglers, clowns, horse riders and other specialty performers, along with holiday programs and international productions.

The works included upgrades to the ring, utilities, heating and plumbing, performers’ rooms and service areas. The Kyrgyz State Circus named after Abubakir Izibaev is located on Zhumabek Street.
