Circus Maximum 2004

From Italian circus fans I have recieved the information that Rosé Michell clowns will perform in circus Maximum in the 2004 season. Last year they were in Norway performing in Circus Arnardo with their comic water entrée. Serge Perselly will be there too performing with his juggling act. Sergé is the son of the very famous white face clown Bruno from the Chickys. Natilia Jigalova will be performing a Trapeze act. Louis Knie with elephants from Flavio Togni and an Argentinean act called Devil of fire. It seems that Maximum again this year presents a very strong program

Flavio Togni animals

Flavio Tognis animals are bussy in the next season. His horses will be in Circus Herman Renz in Holland and some of his Elephants will perform in circus Maximum –Sweden. In the season 2001 there was 9 elephants in circus Arena rented from Circus Americano (Flavio Togni) and performed by the famous elephant trainer Kim Benneweis. The Elephants in Maximum will be performed by Louis Knie.

Fumagalli

The at the moment , the hottest clown in Europe Mr. Fumagalli will be in a Scandinavian circus for the third summer season in a row. In the 2002 season he was with Circus Scott in Sweden with their summer tour. Last year he went to Denmark for the Circus Benneweis summer season and in 2004 Fumagalli will be in Norway with circus ............. (not to be released yet). . Fumagalli was very popular in Benneweis and everybody loved him and I’m sure that Fumagalli  will go directly into the hearts of the Norwegian people.

After this 2004 season Fumagalli will be in circus Knie for the season 2005. So it is maybe the last time to see Fumagalli in Scandianvia for a long time. You can see an article about Fumagalli here and you can read reviews with Fumagalli in Circus Scott 2002 here and in Benneweis 2003 here

Monte Carlo international circus Festival 2004

No surprises in the 28 international circus Festival in Monte Carlo. As Circus Scandinavia wrote a few days ago, was that the 2 Errani a brother was going to win a golden clown – and they did. A little surprise was that Sea world "only" won a bronze clown, because when I saw them in Sweden (Circus Maximum) I was very impressed.

The Young juggler Allan Sulc won a Bronze clown and I wouldn’t be surprised if he is going to take a silver clown next year.

Carl Mundeling

The Danish animal trainer (Tigers) Carl Mundeling is going to perform in circus Darix Togni in Italy. Carl has worked with a lot of different circuses but not as an animal trainer. Carl’s family goes back many years in Danish and Norwegian circus history but he has never before been an active artist. He has been working in Circus Arena in Denmark many years ago and with circus Merano in Norway from 1990 until 1997 where he was working as practical employs dealing with the local governments. It was a surprise when he suddenly showed up in Germany with his own tiger act. First of all because it is not legal to perform with tigers in Scandinavia and secondly because no one in the business knew anything about Carls planes.

Circus on Maltha.

If you are on your way on Holliday and the destination is Malta, there is a great opportunity to see a nice quality circus. In an ugly tent hides a nice performance called Magic Russian circus. The high light of the performance is a quality illusion act with tricks never seen before. The circus will continue to the middle of January and  found in the middle of the city – Sliema.

The web is in German only and a direct link can be found on the link page –Links to friends.

Circus Massimo in February.

Circus Massimo will not be in Karlskrona (Sweden) for the 2004 Television production in February. The reason should be, that the team that should record the performances doesn’t have time in February.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to all circus people, friends and to all those nice people helping me with this web. A special happy new year goes to Italian circus Friends always ready to help with information, pictures and reports.

Circus Scandinavia did have an outstanding year in 2003 with lots of guests. I remember the start in 2001 where there were only a few guests every day. To day it is different because now in 2003 there was 521706 thousands guest locking in on the front page. There are guests from all over the world – From China to South Africa but most guests are from Europe and USA. I got around 50 emails everyday, with people asking about almost everything. It is not possible to answer all the mails –sorry – but I read them all. Because of, there is so many guests on this page I got lots of commercial offers but I will keep it free – no pop ups on this page.

In 2004 there is planned circus trips to Norway in March with reports from circus Merano, Arnardo and Agora. In July the trip goes through Germany to Austria and Italy. I will go to Sweden several times when they are in the south of Sweden.

Circus Scandinavia’s plan to start up a printed version in January 2004 are cancelled for the moment. It is the plan to find time later this year but let us see.

Once again happy New Year.

Kenneth – webmaster.
