The show runs under a blue and white big top set up at the mall property at 301 Mt Hope Avenue in Rockaway. Cirque Italia is an Italian entertainment company based in Bradenton, Florida, and its Water Circus units perform on a custom stage the company says holds 35,000 gallons of water.
Atlantis is the company’s undersea themed production. It is built around aerialists, acrobats, hand balancing, contortion and juggling performed above moving curtains of water, with lighting and music driving the pacing. There are no animals in the show.
