 The great Krone orchestra will provide the "right Tune" in our program. It was awarded during the International circus festival of Monte Carlo. Conductor: Reto Parolari |
| JANA, JASON und MIMI (Switzerland, England, France / in Munich for the first time) A real pigsty |
| Now it gets beastly. Six Friesian milk cows conquer the Krone manage and will astonish you with their learning ability and their concentrated walks. NUTELA, MILKA, LINDA, DORIS, LAILA and DIANA are truly not just some "stubborn cattle's", on the contrary, they are very smart and talented. And this they proof their human colleges every day again |
 |
| MIMI (France / in Munich for the first time New clowneries |
 |
He represents the new line of clowns. Our clown Mimi weaves |
| SVETLANA UND GENNADI (Russia / in Munich for the first time) Four hands provide a lot of excitement |
| These two young artists from Russia have everything under control. Their speciality is juggling a football in any possible position and variation. Alone and together, standing up and in push-up position, during a handstand and even 2 men high they show you, whatever possible men can do with balls. The implemented temperamental flick - flacks and somersaults even increase the difficulty of their the creative fly and throw passages. Their rope skipping looks effortless. Only they can show you, this original and simultaneously so playful easy show, of stealing gravity from objects. Absolute concentration, perfect timing and years of training guarantee their success. For nine years they have been travelling around the world again and again meeting new ovation. Applause for a creative show with the round leather. |
 |
| TROUPE BONDARI (Russia, Lettland / in Munich for the first time) Top stars of balance |
 |
They challenge the heights. Five masters of balance have opened new ways to ladder and percheacrobatic, using extraordinary techniques. Not only do they work their way down, but they also cross the manège with their pendulum load. Great physical strength, distinctive ability of balance and perfect body control are marks of the actors. Convincing as they are, they set this genre in a totally new, fascinating dimension. Not only the difficult performances thrill the public, but also the way they present their act. These masters of balance create al thrill, you can almost hear. It is art on literal high level. |
| DUO FLASH (Ukraine / in Munich for the first time) A double pack eccentric acrobats |
| On and off it goes with these get up and go men. They control the art of right falling in perfection. Looking like two cheerful children, they play with each other on the beat of the music, serving you the finest eccentric acrobatics, fast change of grips and surprising ideas. Everything is just right: performance, costumes, the selection of the music and presentation. Daring jump combinations with a shot of humour ad a special taste to their performance. And the somersault, performed standing on the shoulders of his partner, has never been seen like that before. |
 Efrem and Evgeny visited the school of Kiev for circus art. We discovered them during a performance abroad, at the circus festival in Belgium "La Piste aux Espoirs Tournai 2000". A real eye catcher and this season recommendation. |
| CHRISTEL SEMBACH-KRONE (Germany) Aesthetic horse magic in black, white and gold |
 Christel Sembach-Krone is known in the union branch as master of horse training and animal teaching par excellence. She will show you a horse tableau of 18 stallions in three different colours. Eight powerful Friesian will join with six temperamental Arabians and their cousins, the Palominos, for a training potpourri of the extraordinary. Pictures in black, white and gold arise, filled with imagination, dissolve and arise again. A very special curiosity around the horse species |
| MIMI (France / in Munich for the first time) A comedian in the manège |
 |
An excellent comedian Starting as a worker, Behind the name "Mimi" |
| FLYING BEATA (Brazil / in Munich for the first time) Brazilian temper on the flying trapeze |
| Brazilian artists are rare in our profession. With the Flying Beata, the crème de la crème of South American circus art has joined us. Their playground is the air above the manège, and the acts they show, is as fascinating as a vacation on top of a sugar mountain. They combine classical trapeze art with Brazilian temper in an astonishing way. |
 In perfection they fly from trapeze tot trapeze and offer you breathtaking passages, pirouettes and of course the legendary triple salto mortale. |

JASON PETERS The conductor in the lion cage |
 |
It slowly becomes dark in the concert hall. Dignified he walks in, stops in front of his orchestra and raises his white tact stick : His stage the central cage, his soloists are huge, impressive lions. You will hear the predator symphony, originating from the black continent, during the performance. It will start with a allegro majesto while the animals are entering, continues with a scherzo furioso (jumps, building pyramids, induced fake attacks) and will end with a largo and a cuddle up with the wonderful great cats. Applause for a really unusual orchestra and his elegant maestro |
| MIMI (France / in Munich for the first time) Artistic intermezzo |
| This all-round talent visited the Chalôns sur-Mame circus school, and he is a master in improvised situation comedy. With his extraordinary and obstinate stories, he already made thousands of spectators, laugh. |
 |
| ZAPASCHNAJA (Russia / in Munich for the first time) Shepherds in action |
 |
No Krone program without Russian Power This time interpreted by six Caucasian shepherds and two poodles. Led by Maritsa Zapaschnaja, the actors run supple and filled with joy though the sandy round, and work in tradition of free horses. What they show you, seems to give them just as much joy as will give you Raving running figures change into cuddle tricks and back. Years of patient and loving training was necessary, to be able to present this dog spectacle so perfect. Especially shepherds are, because of their sensibility and their more than average learning ability, more than suited to be an animal artist. |
| MAXIM POPAZOV (Russia / in Munich for the first time) A jewel of the hand-stand-equilibristics |
| So young and so talented. Being only 17 years old, Maxim Popazov proves to be a virtuoso in hand-stand balance. With his more than mystic appearance he celebrates his power perfomance, showing a combination of contorsionistic, floor acrobatics and balance techniques. Even extremely strength-demanding figures, change from one into the other with amazing ease. One is really amazed by the possibilities of the human body. Obstinate movements and perfect-trained performances seem to conquer gravity without effort |
 |
| JANA MANDANA (Switzerland) A strong performance by heavy women |
 Krones charismatic lady of the manège meanwhile has taken over the command in the land of the “thick-skins”, and has been accepted as an equal by the heavy sextet. The royal and respectful animals MALA, BARA, DEHLI, KENIA, AISHA and SANDRIN seem indeed to be proud of their new master: they carry her on trunks |
| MIMI (France / in Munich for the first time) Hand-stand well – everything well |
 |
Be honest: Have you never dreamed about, floating above your seat, flying through the air of the manège and conquering the colourful world of circus? Mimi has realised his childhood-dream. |
| NEW RUSSIANS (Russia) The worldsensation on the catapult |
 New Russians from an old circus, the former royal Russian circus. Nine men and a woman wrap their catapult performance in a parody on the Russian society. Pointing towards the new status symbols of their fellow country citizen, they enter in a dandy-look, wearing suit and cylinder and holding a champagne glass. Their motto is: &#He who does take a chance, does not deserve champagne”. And this being their starting point, they offer you flying, jumping and landing one world sensation after the other. Up to 12 meters high they catapult through the air and build daring human pyramids. Performing a triple somersault on two stilts and a six-time somersault, the athletes reach the world record and the human achievement boarders. Reward of the fear is next to several awards, the registration in the Guinness book of records |
