39th Wereldkerstcircus
17 December 2025 - 4 January 2026 Royal Theater Carré
Wereldkerstcircus 2025 / 2026
Esteemed audience! The 39th Wereldkerstcircus showcases top acts that have recently earned the title of Golden Clown winners. The Monte Carlo Circus Festival awarded the most prestigious prize in the circus world to artists who, from December 17, 2025, to January 4, 2026, will bring world records, world premieres, and world-class performances to the Carré stage.
One of the highlights: Golden Clown winners The Flying Caballero's, who take their Grand Flying Trapeze to unprecedented heights.
Two years ago, The Flying Caballero’s achieved what had never been done in 250 years of circus history: three quadruple somersaults in a single performance. This year, they go even further. At twelve meters high, they will perform – for the first time in the world – two quadruple somersaults simultaneously, in opposite directions.
“For the first time in Europe, we succeeded in this at the WereldkerstCircus,” says 18-year-old Ruben Caballero. “Back then, we dreamed of one day winning a Golden Clown in Monte Carlo. And now, that dream has come true.”
A world premiere at Carré, and just one of the many spectacular acts to be seen this year.
In the Press

Monte Carlo winners at the Wereldkerstcircus
The aerial duo Secret of my Soul, winners of a Silver Clown in Monte Carlo, brings a poetic and daring aerial ballet to Carré. On the ground, the Mexican top clown Chistirrin delivers a celebration of humor and surprise, beloved by young and old. And we’ll lift one more veil: an Argentine Malambo dance group will take the stage at Carré, dancing the stars from the sky in a rhythmic spectacle of drums and fireworks.
