On Friday, Prince Albert and Princess Stephanie, alongside her children Louis and Pauline, opened the 42nd International Circus Festival in Monte-Carlo.
This year, the festival celebrates 250 years of the "modern circus". It was in 1768 when a young equestrian named Philip Astley performed in London, in a field near Westminster Bridge, on a circular ring 13 metres in diameter. His equestrian show mixed acts from the fair – jugglers, equilibrists, funambulists and even trained dogs and monkeys – and modern circus was born on horseback.
The International Circus Festival in Monte-Carlo will host a gala evening on Tuesday, January 23, to present the gold, silver and bronze Clown Awards. Circus performances will continue until Sunday, January 28, with the winner"s show.
