Turkmen State Circus, Circus building in central Ashgabat, Turkmenistan.
The Turkmen State Circus features a spacious interior with stadium seating that accommodates 1,700 spectators for various circus performances and theatrical presentations.
The circus structure, designed by architects Annageldy Bazarov and Arif Zeynalov, opened its doors in 1984 and underwent substantial renovation by Turkish company EFOR in 2008.
The venue maintains a training school for circus arts where local performers develop their skills in acrobatics, animal handling, and theatrical performance techniques.
Located in the heart of Ashgabat, the circus presents regular shows that combine traditional circus acts with regional performance elements throughout the year.
Following an eight-year prohibition of circus activities under President Niyazov, the facility reopened in 2009 and achieved first place at Moscow's Circus Festival Idol in 2013.
