Description
Duration: 150 minutes
“Pepi and the Sea King” is a brand-new New Year’s fairy tale that tells the story of a small hero’s magical and extraordinary journey. Pepi finds himself in the Kingdom of the Sea, where fountains come alive, waves echo music, and every step reveals a new secret.
It is a story about the bond between parent and child, friendship, courage, and the power that only a pure heart can possess.
Starting from December 20, the Tbilisi Circus presents an unforgettable spectacle in which the entire performance becomes part of a fountain show. A specially designed arena will transform into the Sea King’s kingdom:
a 110,000-liter water pool and nearly 700 fountains reaching heights of up to 18 meters.
Moving platforms and spectacular lighting effects create a living, dynamic, colorful sea — a world where the fairy tale itself is built into the scenery.
On stage, audiences will meet the fairy tale’s characters:
-
breathtaking acrobats
-
unique balance masters
-
strength act performers
-
joyful professional clowns
-
and also dogs, cats, and geese, creating a warm and cheerful atmosphere against the fountain backdrop
All acts are perfectly synchronized with the movement of water and light, giving the show a truly magical energy.
“Pepi and the Sea King” is a new New Year’s masterpiece that invites audiences into a vibrant marine world and turns them into participants of the fairy tale itself.

Location
The Tbilisi Circus is the main circus in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. It is housed in a Soviet-era Neoclassical rotunda building built in 1939 on a hilltop overlooking Heroes' Square. Its original big top building was destroyed in a fire in 1911 and the circus was moved to a former wine factory, before settling down, in 1939, in its present Neoclassical, Joseph Stalin-era building designed by Nikolay Neprintsev, Vladimer Urushadze, and Stepan Satunts. With its 2,000-seat capacity, the Tbilisi Circus was ranked among the largest circuses in the Soviet Union, alongside those of Moscow, Kiev, and Baku. A civil unrest and economic collapse in post-Soviet Georgia terminated the circus's heyday in the 1990s. In 2003, the Georgian tycoon Badri Patarkatsishvili bought the circus and began an extensive reconstruction, but his involvement in the 2007 political crisis and death shortly thereafter stalled the renovations. His sister, Mzia Tortladze, was able to reopen the circus only in 2011. Since then, the circus has been playing to sellout crowds, bringing together troupes and performers from various parts of the world.
