Cirque Bouglione

A gypsy campfire has become a common production theme in Europe for ring stock/exotics. It is going to take great skill and vision to keep making it fresh and exciting. Hopefully it will not go the way of the equine Flamenco.

Wade,
I do love the costumes.... Did I ever tell you Halloween was my favorite holiday?
Dressing up as something you aren't has always been a thrill (and I don't mean outfits like Chuckie Cheese). You guys are lucky you can do it for a living.

This is the "Belgian" side of the Bouglione: a good touring big top, not to be mistaken with the Bougliones of Cirque d'Hiver building in Paris.

Raffaele,
So the former Sandrine Suskow doesn't figure into this pedigree, right. I wondered at her not presenting the exotics/horses.

I believe that sandrine is with Cirque Joseph Bouglione rather than Cirque Alexandre Bouglione (which we see here). And that is Not the Joseph who is normally involved at d'Hiver.

John,
I has to be confusing for people buying a circus ticket. I think the closest to it is Ringling with a Red, Blue, which were always known as the Baumann or Gebel unit for clarity. The "gold" show was tagged the "Hometown Edition" early on for no mistaking it.
