BENNY FJELDSØE : Fra Grønland til
Singapore
Startede tidligt i manegen som akrobat
i den berømte Trio Findal, som han rejste med over det meste af verden.
Da akrobatvirksomheden blev lagt på
hylden sidst i halvfjerdserne viste Benny Fjeldsøe nye sider af sine talenter
og fortsatte karrieren som tryllekunstner med stor succes under kunstnernavnet :
” Sir Benny ”. I disse år udviklede ham samtidig sit eventyrligt morsomme
ekvilibristiske cykel nummer som skotte på ethjulet cykel.
Udover at være en fremragende artist,
er Benny Fjeldsøe kendt for sin humoristiske sans og sin gode talegaver,
hvilket har gjort ham meget anvendt indenfor revyer over hele landet - ofte i
samarbejde med sin hustru Lone Lau.

ERIK
CLAUSEN : Fidusens ritual
Cirkus Cassablanca hed filminstruktøren
Erik Clausens første spille- film, og det var ikke nogen tilfældighed, bygget
som den var på
mange års erfaringer fra ” Clausens
og Petersens gadecirkus ”, som
de to gøglere rejste land og rige
rundt med i mange år.
Senere har multikunstneren Erik Clausen
beriget os med en lang række spillefilm, sange og sangtekster, malerier,
tv-shows, foredrag m.v. alt sammen med vid, humor og engagement. Og det er næppe
for meget sagt, at Erik Clausen i dag må betegnes
som vor tids mest frodige og alsidige kunstner.

JØRGEN LORENZEN : Rundt om Cirkus
---------------------------------------------------
Et spændende møde med den engagerede
cirkus entusiast og forfatter, der om legen i mangen siger, at det er med cirkus
som
med kærlighed : De kan begge skuffe
eller overraske.
Foredraget er tilegnet de mennesker der
har viet deres liv til cirkus - de professionelle cirkusfolk, som ikke kunne drømme
om nogen anden form for tilværelse - og publikum, der elsker cirkus, og ligesom
forfatteren er blevet indfanget af atmosfæren, forestillingen, dramaet, skønheden
og eventyret.

Circus Berolina in Denmark.
The huge German 3 ring Circus – Circus Berolina will travel over the border too Denmark and make 4 performances in Kolding. It is very rare that German circus visit Denmark because of the Danish law against wild animals in circus. Because of that can´t Berolina perform with their tiger and their Bears. But anyway Berolina can still line up a nice show and with lots of other animals. 24 camels, lots of horses and 7 elephants. So Berolina is worth a visit if you like circus.

The famous animal trainer Krenzola Jr. will be a part of the circus Arena summer tour 2004. Krenzola performs with a special mixed animal group including pigeons, dogs, cats and and an eagle. It is the question about the Danish authority will aloud Krenzola to perform with the eagle because he wasn’t in 1996 were he was performing with circus Benneweis. In Denmark you need a dispensation if you perform with wild animals. His father was performing in Benneweis in 1972 and 1979 with a similar act.
