Circus Roncalli
Circus Roncalli returns to Germany this spring with a 2025 show that takes place in the German cities of Oberhausen, Bonn, Aachen, Frankfurt, Lubeck, Hannover and Munich.
Presented in Roncalli's huge tent, this spectacular production features 120 clowns, musicians, acrobats and other performers, who combine traditional circus atmosphere with modern levels of comfort and theatrical technology. This combination of nostalgia and modernity runs through the whole production and is what sets Circus Roncalli apart.
Art, music and spectacle
The title of the new show is “Art is Art”, with the themes of art and music integrated into the programme. It promises an eclectic mix. Acrobats dressed in different costumes present their exciting displays choreographed tightly, while the art of Keith Haring, Frida Kahlo, Picasso and Warhol will be brought into the circus ring through the artistry of skilled performers.
Cruelty-free circus
Circus Roncalli does not use live animals in its performances, but has taken the tradition of fearsome circus beasts and turned it into a very modern, new attraction. Using state-of-the-art technology developed in a two-year collaboration between the circus and technical experts, circus animals will come to life as extraordinary holographic projections in the ring.
Ethical concerns have also influenced the catering offer. While visitors can still expect the classic circus fare of traditional German foods like Bratwurst, cotton candy and roasted almonds, there will also be a range of vegan food and no plastic packaging or cutlery.
