In the heart of Hamburg, under the iconic Kniebrücke, a captivating programme is unfolding until October 20th. Known as "Hamburg", this event promises a diverse mix of acrobatics, pole dance, hula hoop, juggling, and live music.

One of the highlights of the programme is the trio Bokafi, who use a teeterboard to propel themselves to dizzying heights, delivering a breath-taking performance. Another act not to be missed is Claudius Specht, who defies the laws of physics with his juggling acts, combining clubs and cups in a mesmerising display.

Igor Bouterine, a Russian hula hoop artist, is another star of the show. Known for his incredible speed, brilliant choreography, and relaxed dynamic presentation, Bouterine has made a name for himself in a traditionally female-dominated field. Despite winning the Russian talent show "Das Supertalent", he is not hosted by Susi Salm, but his performances are accompanied by the live music of the Hamburg band Rudolf Rock & Die Schocker feat. Susi Salm.

Helena Lehmann presents a unique blend of acrobatics, dance, and pole dance elements in her performance on the vertical pole. Her act is characterised by challenging tricks and an aesthetic display that captivates the audience. The Apollo Varieté stage also hosts Lehmann's performance, along with that of the duo Attraction.

The duo Attraction enriches hand-to-hand acrobatics with modern dance elements, creating a magical lightness in their performance. Their act is a must-see for those seeking a blend of traditional and contemporary acrobatics.

Susi Salm's performance is a sensuous spectacle, characterised by passionate music, sensuous movements, and powerful acrobatics. In addition to her singing role in the band, Salm also hosts the evening, announcing performers such as Helena Lehmann.

Nostalgia is another reason to catch "Hamburg" in the coming weeks. With its mix of traditional and modern acts, the programme offers a glimpse into the rich history of circus arts, while also showcasing the innovative talents of today.
