Circus
Michel Palmer alias M. Loyal wonders what Delirium the artists of the new season will be able to drag him into! After the Audaces, the Vertiges and other Challenges of gifted circus performers, Mr. Loyal will see some great numbers tumbling down the Cirque d'Hiver-Bouglione track. Glenn Folco, the crazy Italian juggler, Régina Bouglione, the skilled rider, the Rolling Wheel duo, who handles the German wheel like no other, Matute, the Chilean clown who plays Jim Carrey, Cassie Audiffrin, the graceful bellboy who transports you in the hushed universe of a palace, the Trio Three G, the high-flying acrobats, Scott and Muriel, the crazy and hilarious burlesque magicians, Professor Ermakov and his adorable doggies, Nirio Rodriguez, the Cuban artist who defies laws of balance, the Ukrainians Artur and Esmira who revisit aerial straps and Miami Flow, the aces of the Russian barre. You will have understood: it is no coincidence that the show is called Délire! Mr. Loyal and Pierre Pichaud, the new conductor, will have a hard time leading all these little people!

A true red thread of the show, Monsieur Loyal is a model of elegance, presence, knowledge and benevolence. He encourages the artists, introduces them to the public, ensures their well-being and the smooth running of the show. This irreproachable master of the house intends to let himself be won over by the wind of Fantaisie which promises to blow on the track this season!
You want to make yourself a Delirium, like "I treat myself to a stay in a palace". The time of a number, it is possible! So let yourself be guided by Cassie, irresistible as a charming bellhop who transforms the emblematic luggage trolley of luxury hotels into a runway accessory. An outstanding dancer, she flirts with the contortionist. Suspended in the air, like a bird of paradise defying its golden cage, the artist takes us on a magical journey!
Magic and comedy: these are two words that go so well together! But a third is needed to qualify this crazy duo: Delirium. Irresistible as a rag doll, blonde moreover, Muriel turns Scott, the macho – her husband in life – into a jerk! These two play on all fronts: unstoppable comic mechanics, hilarious situations served by a well-oiled technique. These artists are not at their first trophies and awards.
These artists from Ukraine worked together on the tracks, notably that of the
Young Stage Basel, the biggest circus festival in Switzerland and one of the most prestigious in the world. Defectors from the Bingo troupe, which won over the public in the 2019-2020 season, they got married just before signing their contract at Cirque d'Hiver! The Delirium of this couple is to take themselves for Icarus and fly away towards the firmament wrapped in their straps and moving through the air with real poetry. You won't be able to take your eyes off Artur and Esmira!
No need to speak loud and intelligible to be heard, applaud, trigger laughter and cause real delirium in the stands! Adults - and especially children - will immediately understand this universal language of humor and situation comedy. The Chilean artist, musician in his spare time, plays Jim Carrey. It's a safe bet that the grimace contests will be going well! His talent was rewarded at the 16th Festival International du Cirque de Voiron.
A couple - in the city as well as on the track - in perfect harmony in this number which requires a perfect plastic, and also an irreproachable grace, aesthetics and technique. To think of imitating them and acquiring such a level would be pure Delirium! Not only is this number rarely performed in pairs, but it is unusual to see artists using two wheels simultaneously!
His impressive musculature and his elegance make him a living sculpture. It's Delirium, you will say to yourself while contemplating this majestic cane balancing act. He manages to plank on his arms, balances on his head and, in the end, turns two complete turns, at great height and while standing on one arm! Coming from Cuba, Nirio was discovered by the French public in 2017.
This child of the ball can do everything. Emeritus rider with a haughty port, the daughter of Émilien Bouglione is known for maintaining a beautiful bond with her dear horses... It took all the grace and know-how of Regina Bouglione to present an endearing number where Fantasy and tenderness take over the track. Both obedient and mischievous, his 8 ponies with superb manes will delight young and old alike!
Certainly, these three little bits of women will trigger Delirium among the spectators of the Cirque d'Hiver! For what ? But because they have EVERYTHING: sensuality, beauty, grace, a spectacular sense of balance, agility and flexibility of which only circus artists have the secret. Watching these funny ladies evolve on the track, one can only appreciate the subtle harmony between power and femininity.
Teaching has never been an easy job, but when the teacher has dogs of all breeds as students, it looks like pure Delirium! At their desks or on the blackboard, the adorable canines turn out to be in turn learned, obedient, gifted, but also undisciplined and facetious. No zero points for this dissipated and irresistible class. This pedagogue teacher reveals the tender bond between these four-legged scoundrels and their human companion!
Coming from a large Italian circus family, this young artist would arouse an incomparable Delirium... on the central court of Roland-Garros. But on the track, Glenn is no less an impressive champion. Judge for yourself: juggling with tennis rackets at a frantic pace is not given to everyone. Federer and Nadal better watch out. Have fun counting the number of rackets flying through the air... if you can!
The Russian bar is an attraction born in Russia. A demanding discipline, where artistic acrobatics and gymnastics intertwine, it has inspired the Cuban artists of the Miami Flow troupe! They are therefore 5 boys and 1 girl to take possession of the track and it moves! Acrobats at the zenith of their art, you would think they were mounted on springs as they chained tricks, triple back jumps and propelled themselves through the air at breakneck speed bordering on Delirium. Hang on to follow this club of the intrepid 6!
Not inviting this exceptional ballet to the Cirque d'Hiver arena would be a mistake. Worse: Delirium! They are indeed there, the 3 dancers and the 3 dancers of international renown, to punctuate the show and captivate the public, under the spell and always conquered by the quality of the choreographies which punctuate the show. Alec Mann, the choreographer, leads the dance and as soon as the Salto Dancers enter the arena, the magic happens!
The orchestra is the backbone of a circus show! It highlights prowess, challenges and artistic performances and accompanies each artist with an infinite palette of tempos. And for that, Pierre Nouveau leads his 9 musicians on the stick! They all show a real talent for adapting to restore moods and emotions, illustrate the dramaturgy or underline the Fantasy of each number!
