Show Synopsis

The Safety Circus is an action-packed, interactive performance that teaches students about electricity and electrical safety. Two professional actors bring the story to life, guiding students through an exciting adventure where they’ll learn important safety practices in a fun and memorable way. The hero, with the help of their team, discovers how to handle electricity safely to avoid accidents, all while ensuring the circus can pass its inspection and stay open.

Beyond the performance, students and teachers will receive an e-learning package filled with games, quizzes and lesson plans designed to reinforce the key concepts learned during the show. These additional resources make it easy to continue learning about electrical safety, ensuring a fun and educational experience that extends beyond the live performance.
