Lübeck, Deutschland - The well -known Circus Roncalli will appear in Austria next autumn 2024. With a long tradition and many impressive performances, the circus has been one of the most renowned circuses in Germany since its foundation in 1976. The highlights of the program include various talents, from clowns and acrobats to trapezoidal artists and jugglers. The circus looks back on a rich history that was shaped in the late 18th century by Philip Astley, the founder of the modern circus. Astley's innovative ideas led to the first structured circus demonstrations and laid the foundation for what we know today.

Three artists-a 30-year-old man, a 24-year-old woman and an eight-year-old child-plunged from a height of three meters.

The exact nature and severity of their injuries were not announced, but a spokeswoman for Circus Roncalli said that they are good for them.

The influence of the circus
