Cirque d’Hiver is a veritable institution in Paris. During the holiday season, don’t miss the chance to see the phenomenal new show. Here’s why.
1) The site itself is steeped in history and well worth a visit.
C’t was 160 years ago. On December 17, 1851, the Duc de Morny, Napoleon III’s Minister of the Interior, authorized the construction of a new circus building on rue Amelot in Paris. Architect Jacques Hittorf thought he was building an establishment for the winter, but he was about to design a jewel for eternity. In 1934, 4 brothers took over the management of Cirque d’Hiver. The Bouglione legend was born. It would never end…
2) It’s spectacular
The Wheel of Death is a truly spectacular act. The Vanegas brothers, who have come all the way from Colombia, jump onto a huge moving wheel. The whole audience holds its breath.
3) Funny
A team of Italian clowns lead the way. They’re really effective.
4) It’s poetic
Several of the acts are very beautiful, like this pair of jugglers dancing to a tango tune.
5) It’s moving
The show is also in the eyes of his or her son or daughter, who marvels at an act.
In the end, this new show is worth the detour: it’s better than last year’s, funnier and more spectacular. Do not hesitate to contact us!
