What could that huge chest be hiding in the middle of the stage? What treasures are inside? And the others? Smaller and bigger? In chests and boxes?
No secret, but circus magic: countless wonders. Smallers and biggers! Quite smalls and quite bigs! That’s the circus! It’s the place where miracles happen to you when you enter, and the miracles you take with you when you leave the circus after the show.
The Wonderbox of the Capital Circus of Budapest is also full of secrets and wonders: world-famous artists will show you a magical world of peace, balance, playfulness, trust and, of course, humour and laughter.
Dizzying aerial acts, amazing stunts, impressive tricks, frolicking dogs and clever horses await the audience, who will be guided through the show by one of the world’s best clowns, Franke & Franke.
And what else is in this chest? The real secret: the wonder of love. We admire, we laugh, and we find ourselves smiling, looking at each other, holding our wife’s or husband’s hand, cuddling in our mother’s or grandfather’s lap, and curling up over the tousled heads of our children or grandchildren.
This is the secret of our Christmas miracle Wonderbox: the gift of being able to love each other, to listen to each other, to hug each other. This is the great secret of Christmas, and this is the gift that the Capital Circus of Budapest wants to give to its audience.
