Under the sonorous motto "Real circus • Laugh, marvel, dream", the Vienna Prater Circus presents a completely new manege spectacle for the whole family! Far away from commercial hustle and bustle and urgent stress, especially for children and adults young at heart. Forget the gray everyday life and let yourself be enchanted by international artists, funny clowns and cute animals. Look forward to unbelievable, surprising and poetic moments!

The artistic direction of the "Circus im Prater" is in the hands of Oliver Ciontea. Ciontea is no stranger, as he runs the oldest magic shop in Austria and acts as a magician himself. "There has been a circus tradition in the Vienna Prater since the beginning of the 19th century, which we are lovingly continuing here. I am particularly proud that we were able to hire Denis Snirer, a former member of the Cirque Du Soleil ensemble. Denis is a gifted artist - and floor acrobat who wows audiences all over the world," says Ciontea. The Slovak Stanislav Meciar is known from the "Supertalent". With his juggling he gained greater fame in the circus scene and also proves his dexterity in the Prater.

In addition to the clowns, it is particularly the animal artists of Yvonne and Christian Spindler - the two are the eighth generation of a circus family - that make children's eyes light up. The Spindler team includes three dogs, mini ponies, rabbits and goats as well as two ducks. The latter not only bring atmosphere, but also a lot of stubbornness in the ring. It can sometimes happen that a trick is omitted because a Schnatterich just doesn't feel like making the big entrance. This is lived love for animals!

Slovakian Andrea Veizerova has been a professional artist for more than ten years. The sports scientist and mother of two specializes in scarves, dance and the "Slinky", a metal coil spring that seems to be able to outwit gravity.

Michaela "Michou" Salek-Droterova comes from a Czech family of actors. She is a trained actress and in her home country something of a minor film, television and theater star. With her engagement in the "Circus im Prater" Michou has fulfilled a heart's desire.

The Austrian Maurice Martinec is also passionate about the circus. Not only is he a child clown and fire eater in one person, he also takes on the role of the charming receptionist with that certain something at the circus!
