The Dnepropetrovsk Circus (the Circus, for short) is rather young. The building was built in 1980; the project architect was Pavel Nirinberg.

A very interesting composition technique was used — a visual transformation of the same architectural shape depending on perception conditions.

During the day, it looks like a usual pavilion. At night, when the Circus turns on its lights, the fiery, embossed animals "break out" of the Circus and flash in rays of colourful illumination. Light and colour effects make it like a real circus performance and advertise the Circus with architectural means.

The Circus exhilarates children and adults with various programmes. Also, there is the Circus Ballet Studio in the Circus.
