Cirque d'Hiver Bouglione unveils its brand new show: "Spectaculaire", to be seen in Paris from October 11, 2024 to March 9, 2025. This unique show celebrates the grand return of the flying trapeze, invented here in 1859, and marks 90 years of the famous Bouglione dynasty at this emblematic circus temple.

From October 11, 2024 to March 9, 2025, Cirque d'Hiver Bouglione invites us to discover its new show,"Spectaculaire". Celebrating 90 years of the Bouglione dynasty and the return of the flying trapeze, this magical show promises international artists, equestrian acts and aerial prowess for a grandiose rendezvous.

Spectacular is the promise of a magical universe, where each number transports us into a whirlwind of emotions. From the very first notes played by Pierre Pichaud's orchestra, the tone is set: Mr Loyal, the Salto Dancers and a succession of international artists are on hand. Poetry, thrills and laughs intertwine in a veritable artistic voyage, rediscovering the timeless magic of the circus in one of the capital's most legendary venues.

Our opinion

Whether you're young or old, a circus show never fails to amaze! In this temple of the circus in the heart of Paris, Cirque Bouglione 's new show features a dozen acts in rapid succession, with just the right balance of poetry and fun. Of particular note is the exceptionallive orchestra, which follows the artists without a false note, with a singer who sets hearts aflutter. If the venue stands on its own, it is perfectly enhanced by the lighting designers, for a warm, family atmosphere.

"Spectacular" lives up to its name, with its traditional feel and impressive performers, from juggling to the equestrian act, where a mini pony comes to play in the paws of a majestic horse, for an adorable moment that's shorter than the others, with respect for the animals. Between two visually superb acts, the audience enjoys some funny moments with Les Mangeurs de Lapin, three clowns who never stop bickering and find themselves in funny situations, involving the audience in a rare and truly appreciable interactive aspect. By the way, if you're shy, avoid the front row!

The family's acrobats mingle with the foreign performers to reveal their breathtaking skills. In the half-light, Victoria Bouglione twirls her hoops in marvellous light patterns, before Eliza defies the laws of gravity on her wire, to the sound of a violin that captures us with the solemnity of the moment. After a ten-minute intermission, where cotton candy and popcorn await, a number of aerial acts take the audience on a journey of suspended, poetic moments of mutual trust.

A dazzling show that ends with the famous flying trapeze act, which we were lucky enough to follow backstage and admire during their meticulous preparation. This all-female troupe honors the birthplace of their discipline in a madcap number that takes the heart, as you admire the multiple somersaults that follow one another, right up to the triple, very rarely performed by a woman.

In an explosion of color, the entire troupe gathers on the runway, to greet a conquered audience eager to return to their childhood, between nostalgia and admiration.
