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 [[Second World War]] II 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" />
