ALAIN ALEGRIA
(Mexico / first time in Munich)
Atemberaubende Balancen am Washington-Trapez
He sits comfortably on a chair at an elevation of 8 meters ALAIN ALEGRIA
He is at home in the air and seems oblivious of the forces of gravity.
Pulse beating rapidly, you peer to the heavens and observe him as he performs daring
balance acts - on a motionless trapeze and on a wildly singing bar suspended only by
thin ropes. As if in a dream, he kneels, stands and he swings on the trapeze, as if he
were on the home trainer. And he does all this seemingly unaware of his precarious
position at such height. Only with his mouth, he places a cloth on the bar and sits
"comfortably" on a chair at an elevation of 8 meters. Already in the fourth generation,
this "action packed" circus number now ensures many anxious moments.
He is at home in the air and seems oblivious of the forces of gravity



ANGELA & VINCENZO
(Czech Republic / first time in Munich)
Broken Glass Can Bring Luck
ANGELA and VINCENZO They tell wonderfully
absurd stories and
provide for more
chaos then order in
the manège. Two
masters of situation
comedy with sharp
humor who have left
a lasting impression.
They demonstrate
poetry of the loud
tones and incite
- completely in the
tradition of the the
great Schweijks -
a battle of gags.
There is only one rule:
there are no rules

COLONEL JOE, the largest elephant bull in the world
The famous pachyderm virtuosos from House Krone skillfully bring the manège to
uproarious feet stomping and offer an imaginative "large and small, young and old".
Yes, Mommy Africa and India have talented children, who feel the pulse of the earth.

millimeter accuracy. With the visible will to rewrite circus history, they perform the

DORA, SUZANNE CHIPPERFIELD and SASHA
In a flowing "near-distant play" the animals entertain as s elegant jumpers, two legged
standers and lovable clawing games. It's no wonder, the magnificent cats are all related

their first training at the tender age of two years. Their proud father is a white tiger.
As is usual with tigers - the male fathered several off springs with different females.

"Who tells the tigers that everything is only a play?"
