You may have seen Babu the chimpanzee at Alipore zoo, but at Rambo Circus it’s Bonny the gorilla who comes on stage thumping his chest. Accompanying him are a giraffe and a zebra. With animals banned from circuses, Rambo Circus has included a few faux animals to entertain children. The ‘animal’ act comes with a message from emcee Samir for the audience to be kind to animals. Also seen on the stage with them is veteran clown Biju Pushkaran
The show ended with the entire circus troupe coming on stage in a show of unity in diversity. The centrepiece was the Indian Tricolour fluttering high to the notes of AR Rahman’s Maa Tujhe Salaam as the audience was requested to stand up as a show of respect. The 40-year-old circus company has toured extensively across India and West Asia, captivating audiences with its unique blend of talent, thrill, and excitement. The vision of managing director Sujit Dilip, a second-generation circus owner, led to the resurrection of the circus after the pandemic. The newly packaged show promises to treat the audience to the circus experience in a modern, safe, and comfortable indoor setting
