Circus Krone accident: Acrobat (29) falls

Burghausen police confirmed the fall. The artist was taken to Traunstein hospital. “Some of her injuries are life-threatening, but she is not expected to die,” said a spokesman. The police are investigating the circumstances of the accident.

After the acrobat was removed, the performance continued

The circus is in shock. “The entire Circus Krone team is hoping and praying for Amalia's quick and full recovery,” said director Martin Lacey on Sunday. The Russian has been working with the Ukrainian since 2015, and they have been with Circus Krone since 2019. Both are absolute top artists. But despite all the safety precautions that are in place, says Lacey, danger is always present: “This is the life we ​​have,” said the tamer, who carried out his big cat training as planned after the accident. After the performance, “the whole circus family” came together in the ring. “We prayed together.”

The last performance was in Burghausen on Sunday. The opening performance is in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz on Thursday (26 September). The last stop before the end of the season is Nuremberg (29 October to 10 November).
