Budding circus artist entertains shoppers at Mercato
Sami MiklaShavowski is among the many performers at Mercato who are leaving fans thoroughly delighted with their cheery acts that are taking place in celebration of the 18th edition of Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS).
Only 8-years-old and with 4 years of experience in live entertainment, Sami is a talented acrobat who is part of the roaming acts that are making shoppers truly happy across the cobbled streets of the Italian-themed shopping mall.
Riding a yellow car that has been brought to the mall especially for the act, he is being spotted spreading festive cheer everywhere he goes. And while he is not the only performer of the Circus Fiesta troupe at Mercato, he is catching the attention of guests of all nationalities, due to the spectacular array of unique circus talents that he has perfected at a young age.
A combination of stunning acrobatics and gymnastics and other amusing displays the show is an amazing showcase of all the performers stunning agility and coordination.
In an interview with the Media Centre of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), Sami said: I live in Dubai. My mom is from Poland and my dad is Egyptian. I have been learning acrobats since I was 4-years-old because I was always surrounding by circus artists at home as my mother owns a circus company. I hope in the future I can become a professional acrobat and travel around the world to perform at international circus shows. This is my first time performing at a mall and it is a fantastic experience. I love interacting with people, especially children.
Shoppers to Mercato can catch the roaming performers in action on their roller blades, monocycles and bikes until 29 August at four 30-minute shows taking place at 5pm, 5:30pm, 8pm and 8:50pm (except Wednesdays).
