Stories you know. Magic you’ve never seen.

This December, the skies above Lisbon come alive with Once Upon The Air - a breathtaking aerial theatre experience that reimagines classic fairytales through flight, movement, and music.

From the daring flight of Red Riding Hood to the spellbound fall of Snow White, each act transforms a timeless tale into a moment of beauty, strength, and wonder - a celebration of courage and imagination told through the art of aerial performance.

Created by Lisbon-based aerialist Mika Naidoo, in collaboration with Little Lion Entertainment - the award-winning producers behind The Crystal Maze LIVE Experience and Judge Dredd Uprising - this first-of-its-kind acrobatic production blends the beauty of circus artistry with the storytelling of theatre.

Featuring international aerial artists performing on silks, hoops, straps, and rope, Once Upon The Air invites audiences of all ages to rediscover the magic of imagination.

✨ No language barrier: Told entirely through music and movement - suitable for all audiences.
✨ Family-friendly: A magical night for adults, families, and dreamers alike.
✨ Drinks available at the bar before, during, and after the show.
✨ Capture the magic! Photos and short videos are welcome - please tag us on social media.

From the producers of London’s most iconic immersive experiences - this December, fairytales take flight in Lisbon.
