The participants showed an almost flawless performance that captivated the jury and the audience. After the performance, the Lorch acrobats experienced a true festival of emotions: cheers and tears of joy about winning the title filled the hall as they prepared for the next big challenge.

A remarkable connection to circus history

The successes of the Lorch acrobats are reminiscent of the considerable achievements of circus performers during the darkest chapters of history, particularly during the Holocaust. Stagelync highlights the story of Irene Danner-Storm, a Jewish acrobat who escaped the horrors of the Nazi era through the Althoff Circus. Irene's fate and the support of her circus family illustrate how circus life offered both comfort and danger during the war years. Artist Stav Meishar tells her story in an impressive one-person show that combines historical research and personal reflection, leaving a lasting impression.

The connection between the current success of the Lorch acrobats and Irene's moving story illustrates the resilience and fighting spirit of circus artists across generations. Victory in Worms and qualification for the World Cup in Portugal is not only a triumph for the players, but also a legacy that carries on the rich tradition of the circus and preserves the memories of those who thrived despite adversity in the past.
