Where can you find the world’s best performers? In Hannover—and only during the Christmas season. It’s a wonderful treat for the audience, as the Hannover Christmas Circus is finally moving into the next round with its popular “Grand Prix of Performers.” This festival for the whole family once again brings top-class Christmas circus entertainment to the state capital. The artists, who have won awards at festivals from Monte Carlo to Moscow, must clear a very special hurdle: the audience decides who is the best of the best between the tent canopy and the ring floor. In the large, festively decorated, and well-heated tent at Schützenplatz, the circus elite from Sweden to Spain, from Beijing to Paris, promises unforgettable moments. From the extraordinary to the quirky, from the beautiful to the flamboyant, the festival offers excitement, fun, and spectacular performances, as well as promising super-talents. From the undisputed juggling world champion from Prague to Nouveau Cirque acrobatics from France and captivating British humor, there is something for every taste and all age groups to ensure the best festive atmosphere.
