Wells has a chance encounter with the enigmatic Jules Verne, they embark on a mind-blowing, time- travelling, steam-punking, fan-fiction fantasy that will take you from the earth to the moon and back. This summer, join Circus Juventas for a trippy trip into the brilliant minds of the fathers of sci-fi. Team up with a trio of adventurers, clash with sky pirates, flee from dystopian Morlocks, and join forces with Dr. Moreau and Captain Nemo. Mysterious islands and magnificent creatures, airships and aristocrats, hot air balloons and a mad scientist, plus a few leagues under the sea (20,000 to be exact) are just a few wonders waiting to be imagined. It’s a fourth-dimension adventure you won’t want to miss, so wind your watches, and we’ll see you in the future…or was it the past?
