Knie is the unofficial Swiss national circus, running over a 200 year dynasty.
It's an intense, one ring spectacle, unlike anything you usually experience back in the States: intimate, live band - a classy affair entirely lacking in media gimmickry.
They run a fall circuit throughout CH, training the rest of the year, preparing next year's show. It was a high-octane series of acrobats, comedians, clowns, and impressive animals in a tight setting; this year featuring llamas, as well as the standard elephants and teams of horses.
The elephants bathe in Lake Geneva!
A deeply human performance, showcasing tremendous feats of physical training and timing, defying gravity, space. This year even featured Chinese acrobats echoing a Kung Fu Panda theme, picked up by KNIE - as well as VBS - curricula around the world.
