Discover "Folies Nomades," the latest production from Cirque Romanès, a traditional traveling Gypsy circus. This captivating show has been extended until April 25, 2026, delighting circus arts enthusiasts with its vibrant performances.

The Cirque Romanès is returning to Paris with its iconic tent from February 14 to April 25, 2026, presenting Folies Nomades. This new show is a family-driven creation by the Romanès clan, who are recognized as one of the last surviving itinerant gypsy circuses in the world. Staying true to its nomadic roots, the troupe continues to deliver a circus art rooted in storytelling, close interactions with audiences, and a celebration of a vibrant, multi-generational culture.

The show brings together the new faces of the family, who come from a line of artists dating back to the early 20th century. Tightrope walkers, trapeze artists, contortionists, dancers, and fire artists take turns performing under the big top. Each act is part of a world based on gypsy tradition, emphasizing expressive movement, musical intensity, and family roots. The show is accompanied by a live orchestra that supports the show's dynamic energy.

The creative direction is led by Rose Bouglione Romanès, Délia Romanès, and Alexandre Romanès. Their approach emphasizes a minimalist aesthetic, featuring simple staging without trained animals or elaborate technical setups. The focus is on cultural heritage, craftsmanship, and a form of circus that celebrates human connection over flashy effects.

The orchestra brings together Marian Badoi on accordion, Costel Dangalas on double bass, and Benoît Vincent and Vincent Simonelli on guitar. Their continuous musical presence structures the performance and contributes to the show's sound identity. Artists Diane Rodriguez, Antoine Redon, and Rose Bouglione make up the stage team, within a deliberately family-oriented and intergenerational cast.

Folies Nomades continues the artistic tradition of Cirque Romanès, which champions a style rooted in gypsy culture, emphasizing storytelling and a direct connection with the audience.
