The show will be a ticketed event hosted on a virtual platform with the audience watching it from remote locations.

This virtual fundraiser is aimed to raise awareness for the cause and benefit the Rambo Circus artists and their families to come back strong and revive from the difficult situation.

The funds raised from this initiative will be donated directly to the crew for their welfare and wellbeing.

People can make donations online through the payment gateway page link provided at Bookmyshow or can click on the link and donate even if they don’t buy a ticket.

All donations come to BookASmile which will further be proceeded to the NGO Swaradhar and then handed over to Rambo Circus.

Rambo Circus owner Sujit Dilip, said: “The circus was one of the most preferred outings for kids and the entire family a few decades back. Every kid born in the 80s’ and 90s’ will have some nostalgic memories attached to it. With isolation becoming the new norm, we’re now trying to reinvent the whole experience of watching a circus online. People can buy tickets online from BookMyShow and watch the show from their homes. We are hopeful that the digital revolution will bring lost visibility and respect to the art form.”

Brought to the audience by the narrator, the show structure and format will weave in a story in the form of a narrative. The narrative would harp on the journey of Rambo Circus itself. It will unravel the acts while highlighting the achievements, struggles, global presence, and the never-ending enthusiasm of the artists that have kept it alive through thick and thin.
