This is an illustrated study of water shows in entertainment around the world: aqua shows with divers and swimmers in baths, cabarets, theatres and in the open air; in touring circuses ingeniously travelling the equipment to transform a 13 metre circus ring into a water arena twice a day; in European circus buildings, specially built over 100 years ago, for example in Britain, France, Ukraine and Russia; and most recently, in new purpose-built aqua arenas in Las Vegas, where technical and artistic barriers are being pushed back with awe-inspiring productions - Cirque du Soleil's 'O' and Franco Dragone's 'Le Reve'.
