Trapeze: Carol Reed’s film screened at the Cirque d’Hiver

See Trapeze at the circus where it was filmed: the Cirque d’Hiver Bouglione is hosting a screening of Carol Reed’s film on Saturday, November 28, 2026, at 8:45 p.m. The screening marks the 70th anniversary of the feature, released in 1956, starring Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis and Gina Lollobrigida.

The appeal of this evening lies in the connection between the film and the venue hosting the audience. The Cirque d’Hiver served as a filming location, so viewers will see the arena and dome of the building they are sitting in on screen. The film will be screened from the stands in the venue on rue Amelot, in Paris’s 11th arrondissement.
