Her Life’s a Circus
Natasha, an acrobat in the Moscow Circus, tries to pop a balloon by shooting an arrow with her feet. On this attempt, she failed to hit her target after three shots. However, the show went on, and she finished the rest of her performance. The circus, expected to be in town at least another week, is playing next to the Plaza de Toros in Zapote, in southeast San José. Show times are Monday through Friday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday at 5 and 7 p.m., and Sunday at 2:30, 5 and 7 p.m. |
