The Arlette Gruss Circus presents its brand new creation "Essentiel", an original show that will accompany the company on the roads of France during its major 2026-2027 tour. After the success of Parenthèse, this new production invites the public to rediscover the very essence of live performance through a poetic, spectacular and profoundly human adventure.
With Essentiel, the Arlette Gruss Circus celebrates what unites us, what makes us dream, and what gives the art of the circus its power. From the very first moments, the show transports the audience to a magical world where the pages of a giant book open onto an extraordinary realm. Each chapter reveals a new surprise and draws young and old alike into a succession of scenes that blend technical prowess, poetry, humor, music, and emotion.
Under the famous red and white big top of the Arlette Gruss Circus, international artists deliver performances of exceptional skill. Aerial acrobatics, breathtaking balances, high-flying acts, physical feats, moments of grace, and laughter unfold in a modern and immersive production. The lighting effects, magnificent sets, exquisite costumes, and carefully crafted soundtrack all contribute to creating a magical atmosphere that captivates audiences of all ages.
True to its identity, the Arlette Gruss Circus perpetuates the tradition of the grand family circus while offering a resolutely contemporary creation. For over forty years, the Gruss family has been committed to evolving the circus performance while preserving the values that have made it famous: artistic excellence, respect for the artists, close connection with the audience, and the transmission of the passion for live performance.
The tour will begin in Aix-les-Bains from September 30 to October 4, 2026, before moving on to Annecy from October 8 to 11, Nancy from October 16 to November 1, Metz from November 5 to 8, Amiens from November 12 to 15, Villeneuve-d'Ascq from November 20 to 29, Paris from December 4 to 13, and then Bordeaux from December 18, 2026 to January 24, 2027. The tour will then continue in many French cities until May 2027, allowing as many people as possible to discover this new creation.
In addition to its regular performances, the Arlette Gruss Circus also offers its renowned "Essential" Dinner Show in several cities on its tour. Following the success of the first three editions, which attracted nearly 24,000 spectators, this unique concept returns with a brand-new production specially adapted for the dinner-show format. It provides an immersive experience where a meal is served in an elegant setting before or during a specially curated version of the show.
To meet the needs of all audiences, a wide range of options are available: standard tickets, VIP seats, discounted rates, gift vouchers, family offers, group tickets, school trips, corporate events, Christmas parties, and customized event packages. Spectators can also extend their visit by exploring the official shop, which offers posters, programs, clothing, and many exclusive souvenirs of the show.
Those wishing to prepare their visit will find on the official website all the practical information concerning the sessions, seating under the big top, catering options, dinner-show menus, gourmet partners, frequently asked questions as well as the arrangements for accessing the different cities of the tour.
The artistic program is subject to change at any time without notice, in order to ensure the best performance conditions. Certain disciplines or artists may vary from city to city, particularly for dinner-show performances.
A true icon of French circus, the Arlette Gruss Circus continues to innovate while remaining true to its heritage. With Essentiel, it presents a generous, spectacular, and moving show that promises to enchant all generations and remind us why the circus remains one of the finest forms of live entertainment. An invitation to share a timeless moment, filled with wonder, talent, and emotion.
