The Cirque Alexis Gruss is a white, canvas-topped tent that sits in the Bois de Boulogne, distinguished by its traditional, intimate ring layout. Alexis Gruss founded this company in nineteen seventy-four, breaking away from standard circus conventions to focus on equestrian arts and the heritage of the traveling family troupe. He insisted that the performers remain the core of the show. One evening, a young performer fell during a high-wire rehearsal, and Gruss stepped into the ring himself to finish the act.
