    Calixte de Nigremont makes Circus Festival in Paris shine!

    • Description

      Calixte de Nigremont is, of course, too young to have known the first edition of this festival. Nonetheless, the chief independentist of Anjou is now (almost) an integral part of the International Circus Festival of tomorrow in Paris.

      On Thursday, December 26, visitors can find him as a master of ceremonies for the 40th edition of the international circus festival in Paris. Festival is traditionally held at the beginning of the year at the Phoenix circus in Paris. And the 41st edition, from January 30 to February 2, has already promised a golden bridge to Calixte de Nigremont to guarantee its arrival!

      In the meantime, spectators can enjoy the always impressive circus acts from the last festival. Great demonstration of jugglers balancers from the company Soralino, who plays with gravity and piles of boxes. 

      He also scolds, in English in the text, the young American acrobat Ellie Rossi so that she tidies up her things. Or introduces the number of a Russian troop who is camping a wedding, with a groom who comes from the city, "finally, a city of 5,000 inhabitants" Never very far from the artists, but far from being omnipresent, it leaves enough space for acts to breathe. Like act of Enkhtsetseg Lodoï. Gold medalist of the 6th edition in 1983, it has hardly lost its qualities. This act ends with an arrow shot from a bow held with the feet upside down! Even Calixte remained in admiration.
