BRANDON, FL — Eleven nights of European entertainment will kick off with Circue Italia's Water Circus in Brandon Town Center Mall's parking lot on March 11.

The circus features a water stage that contains 35,000 gallons of water that performers do acrobatic tricks over. Inspired by the element of water, the acts express versatility and fluidity through human movement while curtains of rain and fountain jets crisscross in time to each move, the company's website said. Laser lights and bubbles also add to the interdimensional effect. In a nod to the inner child, mermaids rise from the depths, and even dinosaurs make an appearance.
