The legendary Tashkent Circus will be given a new life. What will change?

There are plans to breathe new life into the legendary Tashkent Circus. What exactly will change?

The Uzbek State Circus is planned to be transformed from a traditional performance venue into a modern cultural and tourist space. The goals are to upgrade the infrastructure, open new venues for exhibitions and events, attract businesses, and make the site convenient and attractive for tourists.

Following a June meeting with cultural figures, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev ordered the sector to be elevated to a new level. Subsequently, a decree on the development of art and literature was adopted, and a creative association of circus arts and street performances was established.

The Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Uzbekistan, Davron Vakhabov, along with members of the Public Council, visited the Uzbek State Circus. The participants inspected the condition of the building, its infrastructure, and opportunities for further development.

One of the proposals is to organize a permanent exhibition, cultural, and entertainment venue with a capacity of 2,500 seats. There are also plans to landscape the area around the circus, improve the infrastructure, and create a more comfortable environment for tourists.

Special attention will be paid to the building itself. Plans include installing modern ventilation and heating systems, as well as resolving the issue of rainwater leaking through the roof.

At the same time, this is not just about renovations. For the comprehensive development of the circus, there are plans to prepare a technical and economic business plan and involve foreign consulting companies from Russia, China, and France in this work.

All changes and renovation work will be carried out in compliance with cultural heritage preservation requirements. The projects must be approved by the Cultural Heritage Agency.

In addition, the authorities plan to review the system of material incentives, salaries, and working conditions for artists and staff, so that they feel real support and motivation for their work.
