THE MIGHTY MENDOZAS
(USA, Italy / first time in Munich)
The merriest bullfight in the world
They place an imaginary corrida in the center of their comedy show. Classical Spanish
costumes and temperamental movements, which would honor any torero, and a "bull",
which bursts with pride before each attack
, become objects of their skillful parody.

Francesco, Tosca and Nicolette emit frivolity and joy of life and prove
that bulls are quickly annoyed by the presence of a red cloth.
Action -  Banderillas
Banderillas, trousers fights, balloon and water attacks do not deter their imaginative
"beasts", the Boston Terrier, GATOR THE GREAT, SMUDGE, LELU and ELLIE.

straw hats, which
he hurtles over the
heads of the
fascinated public.

TRUOPE SCALA
(Cuba / first time in Munich)
Cuban springboard fantasy
Cuban Artists are rare in our area. Thus, we are pleased to be able to present Troupe
Scala, the best the Caribbean has to offer. To the sounds of scintillating music, seven
men and one woman perform breath-taking feats off a springboard.
The troop Scala - a catapult festival on the spring board
They provoke a staccato of whirling bodies and astonish with precise jumps
onto human pyramids. Spectacular saltos on heads and shoulders of the
partners belong likewise to their repertoire like the catapulted jumps.
The Troupe Scala - spring onto a 5-man-pyramid
With all encompassing radiance and fiery temperament, the "Brigadas Artisticas"
demonstrate a perfectly produced show of the joy of life and sets completely
new standards in this classical circus discipline: World class Attractions!



ANASTASINI BROTHERS
(USA, Italy / first time in Munich)
Icarian acts with juvenile charm
Fabio and Giuliano
They bring momentum in the circus ring, when Giuliano whirls his brother, Fabio
in the air with his talented feet. They are only 20 and 12 years old, yet already
command their profession. From the salto in the salto, the slogan reads. Their
innumerable turns and twists, pirouettes and cascades are rewarded with
thunderous applause. The crowning high point of their Icarian Act however
is starting and landing foot on foot.

REDI and SOARA CRISTIANI
(Italy / first time in Munich)
Siberian tiger in a gentle animal
Seven splendid Siberian tigers as "cuddly cats".
Nothing for the faint of heart - dangerous beauties,
who bring the inimitable touch of exotic and adventures into the circus ring.
Redi Cristiani before the tiger pyramid
They inspire with strong jumps, elegant upright sitting and colorful pyramids, which
remind one of the old Friedländer posters. They present themselves as taiga kings
with dynamic group pictures and majestic aesthetics. There is a claw "attack", there
is a roar, in the long run however Redi and Soara Cristiani remain their masters.
Redi and Soara Cristiani

Air Duo in Tango
They frame a fantasy air ballet with tango rhythms. Attached by a red strap cloth the two
float in the sky of the love and demonstrate a breath-taking Pas de Deux. With power
and passion, they offer interaction from spectacular heights, gentle aerial movements
and fascinating tango moves. From the elements of dance and artistic acrobats, they
perform a small work of art and give new meaning to the phrase, "love is uplifting".

Jungle Queens on Elephant Tour
Two world-class animal trainers invite six Indian-African heavyweights into the jungle
camp of the circus ring. The "Glorious Krone Giant" circus talents prove their thick-
skinned elegance, as they perform artistic feats from their homeland with individuality.
The "Queens of the Jungle" coordinate perfectly with one another, are unusually light
footed and show they are fond of good music as they dance with enthusiasm.
Lying down, standing, dancing and pyramid building are included in their repertoire.

better than ever!



TRUOPE SCALA
(Cuba / first time in Munich)
Breathtaking performance on Russian bars
With their second presentation, our star guests from the Cuban National
Circus attain leaps, high into the air and present magnificent acrobat artistry.
The Troup Scala demonstrate its talent on the Russian bars
With ease they show their talent on the Russian bars and kindle a firework of saltos,
pirouettes and giant jumps on the hand wide plank - perfectly coordinated between
fliers and catcher. Their body control fascinates, their jump strength is awe-inspiring.
In free flight, they defy the laws of gravity and convey, attired with colorful costumes,
fiery music and hot-blooded temperament, a part of the Caribbean way of life,
as we know and love them all. Viva Cuba!
Viva Cuba



TRUOPE GARAMOV

The new sensational flight trapeze act from Russia
Entry in the Guinness Book of World Records

They perform legendary feats on the flying trapeze and present the boldest of flight artistry
with fascinating ease: three-way salto mortal, double passes and double saltos with double
screw. The combination of the Russian swing with standing and swinging catchers permits
giant jumps, which has never been seen. The grand flight of 14 meters is registered in the
Guinness book of the records. The force of gravity appears not to be an insurmountable
obstacle, but a challenge, and all are creatively attired as "Pirates of the Air".
