| THE 4 PROCHOROV (Russia / in Munich for the first time) Dazzling jugglers on one wheel cycles |
|
They represent the Russian colours |
 These paddle knights really have their hands full. On large and small cycles they will show you difficult variations of passing, four- man take-overs and 2 men high pin cascading. Furious cycle-artists and stout craft men in one. What seems so easy and playful, requires absolute concentration, perfect timing and years of exercise. Pins free for four talented catching artists. |
| JIMMY FOLCO (Italy / in Munich for the first time) Our master clown from Italy |
 |
No eye will stay dry. The February program clown show is in the hands of a young Italian. The always-happy Jimmy is a master of situation comedy, scurrility and pantomime. Classical and yet modern. |
| MISS AYALA (USA / in Munich for the first time) Pulled in on hair |
| Ponytail hanging has become rare in the manège. Miss Ayala has dedicated here self from hair to toe to this curiosity and lifted it up to an artistic discipline. With powerful hooks attached to her deep black hair, she is pulled through the air and doing so, she is still capable of performing an inventive juggling show. She is at her best above the heads of the public. She conjures beautiful body forms in the circus dome and shines in her fantastic costume. Fit up into here hair-tips, she whirls, glides and flies through the air, a real pleasure to look at. Astonishment and admiration of the public is assured to her. |
 |
| The graceful American is at home in circuses al over the world, and is used to standing ovations. As a 5th generation circus child she learned this thrilling craft from her mom, and together with her sisters she celebrated triumphs as the AYALA SISTERS. As "The Women with hair like steel wire", she was announced in the professional circles. Now she is at the beginning of a promising solo career. |
| VALENTINA (Switzerland) Lots of fun with web footed pals |
 Every shown masterpiece is based upon the Californian sea lions natural joy to play, and that is why everything at least, so it seems will be presented to you with a smile around their whiskers. |
Sea lions are born artists and real comedians. With an amazing sense for gags, herring snacks and pats, they act in a jolly web foot show. They turn out to be qualified jugglers, balance artists, handstand artists and smooth tap dancers. They are always in the mood for a flirt and a wet kiss should not surprise you. But most of al they like to tease their trainer, Valentina. Original tricks and the gladness of these two web-footed artists make this sea lion comedy a real pleasure to watch for the whole family. These two beautiful specimens are named OTTO and CESAR, they are 13 years old and consume everyday more than 30 kg fish, mostly herrings and mackerel. Their physical health is taken care of; they have daily swim orgies in a 35.000-l big water basin. |
| MATTIOLO (Italy / in Munich for the first time) The wild side of magic |
 In a breath taking pace Gianni Mattiolo present the latest Las Vegas illusions with Tigers, Leopards, Pumas, Macaws and Kakkadus and changes the red ring into a place with wonderful secrets. |
Great illusions with predator cats are always something special. Especially when an elegant magician and astonishing animals present them. Fanciful he makes animals appear, disappear or even make them change their places.  Wife Luana gets parted, drilled trough, folded and transformed into a living tiger. Every possible trick variation of a modern magic revue will be presented in perfection. |
| In contrast with David Copperfield, this great master of magic works in a manège, which can be observed from all corners. He presents a mix of astonishing illusions, refined light effects, modern presentation and dramatic music. |
| JIMMY FOLCO (Italy / in Munich for the first time) Having a good time |
 |
It's healthy to laugh, and Jimmy Folco is the best medicine. Four times you may enjoy this masterly comedian. For risks and side- affects ask the director or read the program leaflet. |
| SONNY FRANCELLO (Germany) A Horse-Potpourri in Black & White |
| Real classic acts in the red ring are horse shows. With a parade of 6 Friesians and 4 white temperamental Arabs. Sonny Frankello brings unmistakable circus air into the manège. |
 His horses are fond of applause and they will show all artistic figures in a high-grade horse show in perfect harmony. These noble beauties prove their horsepower(s) in a variety of formations, pirouettes and Volten Imposing stages and the cuddly pony CHARLIE complete this fabulous masterpiece. Truly a feast for the eye, for people to whom horses mean the world. |
| WILLER NICOLODY (Italy / in Munich for the first time) Ventriloquism as an art |
|
Belly talkers |
A (toy) Duck, a (living) dog, around him his creations |
| I N T E R M I S S I O N |

DANIEL RAFFO Directly from the USA: 10 magnificent Siberian tigers |
 |
Now it gets serious. On silk feet, 10 Siberian tigers sneak into the central cage and make you smell the hot breath of a wild animal. They build pyramids, jump from stage to stage, roll in the sawdust and stand upon their two back feet. To animal tamer Daniel Raffo they listen without a grumble. Around him these great kings of the jungle act like little kittens, working with paw power. |
|
The animals totally are in their element. The tiger-whisperer from Uruguay |
| JIMMY FOLCO (Italy / in Munich for the first time) Circus live is funny |
| He leads the public into alternating emotions and serves an optical gag firework with a 100% amusement factor. It is amusing, makes you dream and mediates pleasure in life. |
 |
| SABU (Mexiko / in Munich for the first time) Dangerous balances on the Washington-trapeze |
 |
The manège is not enough for him. Sabu wants to get high up in the air, and moves upon the Washington-trapeze like as if the deep empty space beneath him would not exist. His risky balances on the still hanging and swinging trapeze almost encounter the borders of gravity. His dare devil jumps assure sweaty hands and palpitations in the safe underground. With every act the small Mexican seems to challenge the borders of the human reflex. His to the limit spectacle is on big challenge to man and material. For the public it is 6 minutes of suspense, for him it is 360 seconds of full concentration. Feel the thrill during this unique stroll between heaven and earth. |
| SONNY FRANKELLO (Germany) Disco elephants introduce themselves |
| They get paid with carrots. Four well-trained African elephants proof that thick skins are more than just funny.  In spite of all the "action", the playful moments hold the more prominent place. Enjoy this naughty-amusing animal training with four imposing teenagers. |
KIMBA, MALA, KENIA and BALUMBA are capable of more than just plain acts. They also impress with mouth-organ play, singing, hula-hoop, rotating trunks and a little magic-show.  These multitalented animals are even capable of doing the break-dance, and with their 2 ½ tons they dance smoother than many 2 legged ones. |
| CONG TIAN (VR China / in Munich for the first time) A virtuoso on the soft wire |
 |
He has no competition to fear. |
| He most valuable reward for al this, was winning the Silver Clown on the 23. International circus festival of Monte-Carlo in the year of 2000. We wish this congenial balance artist a lot of steadiness on his soft wire. |
| JIMMY FOLCO (Italy / in Munich for the first time) Attacke auf die Lachmuskeln |
 |
A charming fun maker with pep and elan, fully using the circus potential of his guests. His reprises are simply a success, whether he tames a balloon, spreads folklore or acts as a dishwasher. |
|
DIE ALEGRIA-BROTHERS Risky action on the double big wheel |
 These two hazardous guys love the thrill. |
Hang on! On, above and under the rotating big wheel, the Mexican brothers Sabu and Francesco Alegria will create a high tension in the circus. To them, no trick high upon the air is to hard or to exceptional. They juggle with the publics’emotions. With breathtaking pace they fly around their own axle, make lopings and somersaults and still always land on their feet. Progressing faster, higher and further. During their daring stunts the audience fears for their lives. Next to an absolute sense of balance, courage, and precision, their is also some amount of foolery involved. |
| Among several awards their latest trophy, the "Tour Eiffel d'Or" was received just a few days ago at the 1st. Festival Mondial du Cirque in Paris. President of the jury was Alain Delon. |
