A new concept of circus festival will take place in Bucarest. I think is the first competition ever to show complete circuses, instead of a selection of acts.

They will be:



Medrano-Casartelli

Busch-Roland

Richter

Moscow Circus on Ice

Bucarest Globus Circus building





From the Festival press release:



“5 shows, in 5 different location will compete for 2 weeks in Bucharest, within the period 17th – 29th of June. Italy, Russia, Germany, Hungary and Romania will be present with traveling circuses that are among the most successful circuses from their countries.

All circuses entering the competition are winners of the circus festivals from Monte Carlo and many have won the renowned Golden Clown.

For 12 days, Bucharest will be the capital city of entertainment, of performance and adrenaline

120 shows will be presented to spectators from Bucharest, Ploiesti, Pitesti, Giurgiu, Calarasi, Targoviste, Piatra Neamt, but also for those from cities farther away, as tourist packages will be organized by agencies both to see the shows and to visit the capital city.

And on june 14, a greart street parade will see reuinted 450 performers and animals from those circuses”.



Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:
