Spain’s most celebrated circus travels to Alicante this February, presenting a bold and spectacular new production from a company with a century of history. The show embraces art in its purest form, bringing together masterful staging, world-class professionals, and a commitment to beauty and spectacle that transcends borders.
Raluy Heritage Circus stands as one of Europe’s rare museum-style circuses and remains the only circus tradition run by two women at its helm. With more than a hundred years of experience and six generations dedicated to the circuses’ craft, the company invites audiences on a journey through the Golden Age of the circus. The production features more than 40 restored wagons dating from the early 1900s, a vivid reminder of the era’s atmosphere and artistry, while blending traditional performances with cutting-edge, avant-garde elements. It is a careful fusion of heritage and innovation that keeps the magic alive for modern audiences.
Recently honored with the Big Top Label, a distinction reserved for Europe’s top circuses, Raluy Heritage Circus is recognized as a leading representative of circus history in Spain. The award is widely regarded as the equivalent of a Michelin Star for circus arts, highlighting excellence, longevity, and the ability to evolve while honoring core traditions.
Following an unprecedented success during Christmas in Valencia, the Raluy Heritage Circus brings its remarkable show to Alicante. The production has already earned the applause of more than 350,000 spectators across the country, a testament to the enduring appeal of its spectacular storytelling and artistic ambition.
In art we trust: a show that is unprecedented, extravagant, risky, and bold
What unfolds is not merely a circus performance. It is a production that leans into visual spectacle, inviting families to witness a convergence of different worlds and disciplines. The show blends diverse techniques and performs with the heart laid bare by the performers, an experience that invites audiences to feel as much as they watch. The creators describe this new production as a tribute to a century of shared art and to the six generations of the Raluy family who have kept the flame alive. Niedziela Raluy, the fifth generation of artists, speaks to the enduring spirit and the commitment to craft that animates every act.
