Big Kid Circus Introduces "The Kingdom of Kong" to Mark 20 Spectacular Years
“This is the most ambitious project we’ve ever undertaken,” said Julia Kirilova, Creative Director of Big Kid Circus. “King Kong isn’t just a character; he’s a spectacle, a symbol of everything we love about storytelling, technology, and the magic of live performance.”
As Big Kid Circus celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2025, it’s pulling out all the stops with its most ambitious production yet: The Kingdom of Kong. This ground breaking show will take audiences on a thrilling journey into the world of adventure and imagination, with a jaw-dropping 30-foot animatronic King Kong taking centre stage at Edinburgh Gyle Shopping Centre between 07th February 2025 to 16th February 2025.

A Giant Leap for Circus Entertainment

The centrepiece of The Kingdom of Kong is a one-of-a-kind animatronic King Kong, standing 30 feet tall and designed to captivate audiences with lifelike movements and immersive interactions. A feat of engineering and artistry, this giant figure is the first of its kind in the UK and promises to elevate the circus experience to unprecedented heights.

In this new production, King Kong becomes part of a grand narrative where daring performers, death-defying stunts, and breathtaking acrobatics bring the story to life.

A Global Cast That Inspires Awe

Big Kid Circus has always been synonymous with diversity, and this year’s production continues that tradition with a vibrant cast of performers from around the globe. Among the dazzling acts audiences can look forward to are:

  • Ethiopian aerialists, who will perform gravity-defying routines high above the audience.
  • Tanzanian dancers, blending traditional rhythms with a modern twist for an energetic, dynamic performance.
  • Tightrope walkers from Mexico, whose precision and bravery will leave audiences breathless.
  • Brazilian samba artists, infusing the stage with colour, energy, and infectious joy.

“This year’s show is about more than entertainment,” said Julia Kirilova, a spokesperson for Big Kid Circus. “It’s a celebration of cultural unity and the incredible talent that connects us all.”

20 Years of Entertainment Excellence

Founded in 2005, Big Kid Circus has become a household name in family entertainment, known for blending traditional circus arts with innovative storytelling. Over two decades, the circus has grown from a small traveling troupe into one of the UK’s most beloved live entertainment experiences.

“Our 20th anniversary is a chance to reflect on how far we’ve come and to dream even bigger for the future,” Kirilova said. “We’ve pushed every boundary to ensure The Kingdom of Kong will be a show our audiences never forget.”

A New Era of Spectacle and Storytelling

Combining advanced animatronic technology, live music, and theatrical elements, The Kingdom of Kong redefines the traditional circus experience. This production invites families to immerse themselves in a story of adventure, courage, and teamwork as performers work together to tame the mighty King Kong and restore harmony.

The live band will underscore every moment with an electrifying soundtrack, complementing the visual wonder of aerial feats, daring stunts, and comedic interludes.

Making Magic Accessible

To commemorate this milestone, Big Kid Circus is giving back to the community in meaningful ways. Free workshops will be offered in select cities, giving children and aspiring performers a behind-the-scenes look at circus artistry. Partnerships with local schools and charities will also ensure discounted tickets for underprivileged families, spreading joy to as many people as possible.

“Circus is about creating connections and spreading happiness,” Kirilova emphasised. “We’re committed to sharing this experience with everyone, no matter their circumstances.”
