| THE KALININ-TROUPE (Russian / in Munich for the first time) Whirlwinds on Inline-Skates |
| Daring they rush from high ramps and impress with power and esprit in a seven-pack.  |
 |
They show up-to-date circus in its most beautiful form and will astonish you with a furious skate show in an until today unknown rage. On 56 rollers these modern inline whirlwinds fly through the room and present a fire- work with daring jumps, salts, passages, turnovers and frontloops. |

to the artistes
| ELAINE COURTNEY (Ireland / in Munich for the first time) Beauty, elegance and ability on the swinging wire |
| She can never complain about a lack of applause. With a shining smile and an impressive confidence this Irish beauty show her airplay on the swinging rope. Artistic as seldom seen she floats through the air and controls aesthetic up and down swings, elegant twists and dynamic falls. She not easily brought off balance. With her fine sense of balance she beats gravity and knows how to present herself gracefully. |

| MALTE KNAPP (Sweden / in Munich for the first time) On your bikes, ready, go! |
 |
He moves safer on his bike them then most of us on two legs. Mini-, midi-, maxi- or high- cycle, it doesn't matter to him. Any unicycle he controls masterfully. Even an zick-zack-cycle he creative learned to control, and the smallest bike in the world looks good on him. His perfect footwork and his furious balance technique will make you want to see more. Climbing stairs on a bike, rope skipping and a round without a saddle is for him a case of honour. A man - a bike. One must have seen him. |

They present the far out largest artists in this program.
The African elephants MAMBO, NANDA, TONGA and KIMBA.
The first time together with four Andalousian blue-greys.
 |
 In an harmonic performance they present an effectively trained fourfold "great and small" and will make the manège stamp |

| LES ANTARES (France, England / in Munich for the first time) Intergalactic acts on a rotating aeroplane |
The winners of the 'silver clown' in Monte-Carlo fascinate
12 meter high above the ground with spectacular act on a rotating aeroplane.
Saults, jumps and hand tricks alternate at great pace. Daring falls with a pirouette,
without any security, will make the hands sweat in the safe "down".
The risky rotations with teeth, tows and heels on the
rotating trapeze absolutely deserve the label "sensational".
It's good to know that after the landing, there will be a safe happy-end.

| ANATOLI JOUKOV & JOULIA (Russian / in Munich for the first time) Dangerous fire and fakir games |
 |
He plays with fire and this he does with success. During his exiting 1001-night fakir show it gets hot. Meter high fire clouds he sends into the circus sky and as a fire-eater invulnerable. With his impressive breathing technique he brings us back to the early years of circus and demonstrates as a living "fire and water fountain" how well flames taste. No wonder, taking into account that his daily food consists of gas, kerosene, methylated spirits and petroleum. |

| KARAH KHAVAK (Hungaria, India / in Munich for the first time) Lord of the crocodiles and giant snakes |
The mysterious master of the crocodile show
brings huge alligators, caimans and the
python snake "MIMI" into the manège
and presents them close enough to attack.
He has the rare ability to "hypnotise" giant crocodiles
and strangling snakes in a manner that these dangerous reptiles
at one move of his hand seem to play dead and stay that way until
their lord and master brings them back to live.
 |
 The "jungle gladiator" can even put his head |
en 3.5 tons bite strength. Nothing for weak nerves!

ALEX LACEY Tigers and lions in perfect harmony |
He joins with four imposing lions and four mighty Siberian tigers
in the central cage. A truly illustrious four legged company,
that willingly follows his orders. Beautiful grouping acts with
build pyramids, great jumps and a variety of cuddling units.
The spectacular throat trick with mane lion "MASAI" has not
been seen for a long time. Conclusion: eight magnificent claw
artists and a wonderful young animal tamer will fill
the hearts of every circus friend.

The sympathetic "loosers" fight endlessly
with the wickedness of objects and
win, while loosing everything,
the favour of the audience.

to the artistes
| DUO ROJDESTVENSKAYA (Russian / in Munich for the first time) Spectacular aerial voltages in the cradle |
| They impress with feminine mussel-art in the cradle. Both "super-girls" fly following all the rules of the circus art, keeping the audience with their aerial tricks out of breath. All this with a woman as the catcher. She has a firm grip on her partner. Concentrated up into her fingertips these power women conjure up most fascinating pictures into the circus sky and present an aerial show filled with elegance and beauty. |

| THE KALININ-TROUPE (Russian / in Munich for the first time) The high art of wire jumping |
In their second performance the seven exceptional artists from
Moscow proof that jumping the wire is (not) a piece of cake.
On 12-meter long wires they show a variety of jumps
in al possible and impossible body-positions, using a dash
of slapstick. Individual and in couples, upright and in push up position,
doing a handstand or even three man high, they transform an ancient
game to an truly space filling art in their colourful folkloric costumes.

| ALEXANDER DZOUSOV (Russian / in Munich for the first time) Dance on the edge of the knife |
| He surprises the Krone audience with an expressional sword dance from his home in south-ossethia. His dancing precision, rhythmic musicality and knife sharp presentation are perfect. On virtuous feet he celebrates the rituals of an ancient worrier clan. Up until to 50 cm long daggers fly through the air precisely finding their way. All is following the beat of the music. Accurate aiming in perfection! |

| THE TROUPE IRISTON (Russian, Kasachstan / in Munich for the first time) Dazzling dshigiten-rider from Ossetia |
They ride like the devil. Nine dshingiten riders hunt in breathtaking
pace trough the manège and compete with daring acts.
 |
Hanging beneath the belly of their horses and riding at full gallop they pick up cloths from the floor and swing in a 380 degrees pirouette around the saddle. While riding their horses, they sault and build creative pyramids. The Caucasus whirls through the Krone manège. |
