The '''Dnipro State Circus''' ({{lang-langx|uk|Дніпровський державний цирк|translit=Dniprovsʹkyy derzhavnyy tsyrk|}}) is a [[20th -century]] [[circus]] in the city of [[Dnipro]], [[Ukraine]]. The venue hosted activities for the [[New Year's Eve|New Year]], animal-filled circus acts, [[clown]] performances, and other forms of [[entertainment]]. It is the only circus in the country with a rehearsal and staged arena.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=ЦИРК Дніпро – контакти, телефони, директор, сайт, КВЕД – ЄДРПОУ 02174187 |url=https://www.ua-region.com.ua/02174187 |access-date=2024-03-23 |website=www.ua-region.com.ua |language=uk}}</ref>
 
== Design ==
The building's original dome arch pattern, which produces acoustic and readily attaches equipment for artists to suspend, is what sets it apart. The circus was built using a tent covering made up of 12 prefabricated petals of [[reinforced concrete]] pieces, a first for domestic building. The most up to date lighting and audio equipment is installed in the hall. The only circus in Ukraine having a rehearsal and production venue is Dnipro State Circus. The auditorium can accommodate 1914 people.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |title=Дніпровський цирк, Дніпро - Афіша заходів {{!}} Internet-bilet.ua |url=https://internet-bilet.ua/uk/hall/234/dneprovskiy-tsirk |access-date=2024-03-23 |website=Дніпровський цирк, Дніпро - Афіша заходів {{!}} Internet-bilet.ua |language=uk}}</ref><ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Дніпровський цирк, Дніпро: інформація, фото, відгуки |url=https://travels.in.ua/uk-/object/2514 |access-date=2024-03-23 |website=travels.in.ua |language=uk}}</ref>
 
The {{Convert|92|km}} metal rail improved the auditorium's acoustics and allowed performers to easily attach their equipment. There is a single installed original cross-grate with many winches positioned at different angles. The circus dome's highest point is {{Convert|19|m}} above the ground. Electrical workers installed 97 kilometres of wires in various areas all around the structure.<ref name=":4">{{Cite web |title=Цирк на Набережній |url=https://www.dnipro.libr.dp.ua/Cirk_Dnipro |access-date=2024-03-23 |website=www.dnipro.libr.dp.ua |language=uk}}</ref>

Mobile circuses with deterrent tents, or open air, were a popular form of entertainment for locals in Katerynoslav throughout the 1800s.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite book |last=Котенко |first=К.

It persisted until 1929. However, the circus and the ancient mansion were eventually relocated to Ozerna Square. The circus once more attracted the public to performances in February 1911. Back then, Gigetto Truzzi, Vladimir Durov, and the court Japanese circus Mikado made a successful tour in this area.<ref name=":4" />
 
This circus operated out of a home that Gigetto Truzzi constructed and remained until 1929. A circus-chapito that was destroyed during [[Eastern Front (World War II)|Great PatrioticWorld War II]] had been operational since 1932.<ref name=":3" /> The circus was evacuated during the [[World War II|Second World War]] and the [[Reichskommissariat Ukraine|Nazi occupation]] from 1941 to 1943. The Theater of Illusions was the moniker given to the last few artists. All were deported to [[Nazi Germany|Germany]] in 1943, and it is unknown what became to them after that.<ref name=":4" />
 
The Ozerna Square circus premises were reconstructed following the war. However, it presented its final show on 13 September 1959,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Цирк, Дніпро |url=https://ua.igotoworld.com/ua/poi_object/2431_dnipropetrovsk-state-circus.htm |access-date=2024-03-23 |website=UA.IGotoWorld.com |language=uk}}</ref> and a new circus structure was constructed in June 1960 in accordance with the design of V.A. Zhukova, an architect from [[Kyiv]]. However, the lack of heating in the space meant that performances could only take place there during the warm season, which made the plan less successful.<ref name=":4" />

In 1980, it relocated to a house designed in accordance with Pavlo Nirinberg's proposal,<ref name=":2" /> on the [[Embankment (earthworks)|embankment]] in the city center.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":3" /> The circus building's grand opening was held on 24 December 1980. In the inaugural Carnival Goes Around The World Event at the new circus, artists welcomed the circus's construction workers.<ref name=":4" />

Prominent circus artists such as [[Yuri Kuklachov]], [[Igor Kio]], [[Yuri Nikulin]] and many others performed at the circus.<ref name=":0" /> It's still a well-liked spot to unwind with the whole family these days.
