Cirque Italia is willing to bet East Texans have never seen anything like their water circus.

The circus has raised its tents in the south parking lot of the Broadway Square Mall for three days of performances, which include harrowing acts of acrobatics paired with light and water displays, according to a news release.

The circus utilizes 35,000 gallons of water. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Friday with additional shows at 2:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. Saturday and 2:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.

Tickets range from $10 to $50.
