Slava’s Snow Show in Istanbul: Zorlu PSM, March 17–21, 2027

From March 17 to 21, 2027, Slava’s Snow Show comes to Istanbul for seven shows at Zorlu PSM. The clown Slava Polunin and his company fill the stage with giant balloons, light and a storm of snow that blows out over the seats. The show has no words, so it works for every language in your group, and it suits families with children aged 8 and over. This page covers the dates, the show, the age rules and the hall. We arrange your tickets.

What Happens at the Snow Show

Slava Polunin founded the Academy of Fools, and his Snow Show has toured more than 120 countries since 1993. Since then, it has won an Olivier Award in London and a Drama Desk award in New York. On stage, a company of clowns plays out small scenes, some full of laughter and some full of feeling, with music but without words. In all, the show lasts 100 minutes, with an interval.

The fun spills into the hall. In the stalls, the seats are part of the show, so the snow and the giant balloons reach you there. From the two balconies, however, you watch the whole picture without taking part. The show also uses fog, loud sound and strong light effects. So wear clothes you do not mind getting a little dusty.

Slava’s Snow Show With Children

The show admits children from age 8, and those under 8 cannot come in. Also, children aged 14 and under need a parent with them in the hall. For families, the weekend matinees on Saturday at 3:30 pm and Sunday at 2:30 pm are the easiest. Make it a family day, with our Istanbul family day at Miniatürk and Rahmi Koç in the morning and the snow in the afternoon. For more ideas, read Turkey with kids.

Zorlu PSM: Getting There on Time

Zorlu PSM is the performing arts center of Zorlu Center, at Zincirlikuyu in Beşiktaş. First, the doors open one hour before each show, and the hall asks you to be there by then. Latecomers wait for a break in the show, and after a certain point only enter for the second half. Our driver takes you from your hotel to the door and back.
