A group of circus artists are working on a new show. Determined and full of passion, the artists practice their new acts. We observe as they succeed and fail, and as they stand in each other’s way, or help each other out. Just as in real life, they are flung back and forth between disappointment and irritation, hope and crazy happiness. We discover the personal stories of the circus artists. The love that grows between them, and the rivalry that always exists.

A tight-rope walker who is afraid of heights, a knife-thrower who’s afraid to fail, the woman with four legs, and of course, the magnificent finale – because everything works out for the best in the end.

CIRCUS SANTA SANGRE is a sparkling and exciting show that surprises and impresses the audience with its beautiful visual images. The show is funny and moving at the same time and shows the audience the the wonderful world of the circus, where everything is possible. Or does it just seem that way?
