Enter the circus tent. You are greeted at the entrance by artists in imaginative costumes and cheerful music. The sweet smell of candy floss and roasted almonds fills the air. Here you will be "roncallized" in no time at all and whisked away into a magical world. Let the Circus Theater Roncalli enchant you with a firework display of artistry, visually stunning holography and top-class live music. ✨

How it all began...

The Roncalli success story began in 1975, when art director Bernhard Paul gave up his well-paid job at a news magazine and went back to his childhood dream: circus director! A discarded old circus caravan becomes the cornerstone of today's Circus Theater Roncalli. Despite many hard years, Bernhard Paul and a handful of idealists hold on to the dream of the "most beautiful circus in the world" and travel the fairgrounds.

On 18 May 1976, Roncalli celebrates its world premiere with the program "The Greatest Poetry in the Universe" at the "Bonner Sommer". Things really take off in 1980. The show "The Journey to the Rainbow" is a complete success and the Roncalli Circus Theater can hardly save itself from visitors. 80 historic wagons, historic food trucks, 120 artists, musicians, performers and employees - what began as a dream is now one of the largest circus companies. 🎪

To this day, the Roncalli Circus Theater continues to reinvent itself: since 2018, Roncalli has focused on an animal-free show and is the first circus ever to present holographs in the circus tent instead. Plastic packaging is also a thing of the past at Roncalli. 💚

Another exciting novelty: this winter, Circus Theater Roncalli will be making its first guest appearance in the Big Apple! 🏙️ At the long-awaited US premiere, Roncalli wants to enchant New Yorkers with the romance and magic of the European circus tradition.

All for ART for ALL

The current show"All for ART for All" is a tribute to the great artists of music and painting. The program promises breathtaking artistry, impressive holography and live music that will transport you into a world of fantasy and illusion. 🎭

During the Roncalli picture parade, the circus ring is transformed into a living museum. Perhaps you will discover works by painters such as Leonardo da Vinci or Frida Kahlo? Unique 300-degree holography in the circus ring creates a one-of-a-kind spectacle that combines nostalgia and modernity.

Look forward to handstand acrobat Maria Sarach as a living Mondrian painting, the Minasov duo performing the fastest fashion show in music history and partner acrobatics that redefine seemingly fixed gender roles. Of course, Roncalli legends such as white clown Gensi and bubble poet Carillon will also be there. 🤡 Last but not least, the Roncalli Royal Orchestra will round off the show musically and make your experience complete. 🎺

Be enchanted by these lovable clowns and first-class artists. ✨
