Volte: the new show by Cirque d’Hiver Bouglione

The Cirque d’Hiver Bouglione presents Volte, its 2026–2027 season show, in Paris through March 7, 2027. The program features flying trapeze, diabolo, balancing acts and comedy, with breakdancing also taking center stage. This new production brings together several generations and disciplines of circus arts at the venue on rue Amelot.

Flying trapeze is one of the show’s key features. The Flying Caballero, a troupe of six acrobats who won the Golden Clown at the Monte-Carlo International Circus Festival in 2025, perform an act featuring a quadruple somersault. Their appearance continues a tradition closely linked to the Cirque d’Hiver, where Jules Léotard introduced the discipline in the 19th century.

On the ground, the Full House duo, formed by Henry Camus and Gaby Schmutz, combines comedy, acrobatics and object manipulation. Matéo Turbelin and Aélia Savary work with the diabolo as a duo. The show also welcomes five artists from the Break Dance Crew, who bring breaking moves to the floor.

The program continues with Maria Sarach’s balancing act, Lilla Csepregi’s slacklining, Noel Aguilar’s juggling and Duo Bora’s dance trapeze act. Michel Palmer serves as ringmaster. The orchestra, conducted by Pierre Pichaud, and the Salto Dancers accompany the acts alongside the other artists in this international cast.

Announced as running for two hours, Volte takes the form of a family circus show combining aerial acts, live music and comedy routines. Performances continue through the fall, the holiday season and winter, with a detailed schedule available from the Cirque d’Hiver.
