More than ever a challenge! Circus Knie project for its new touring show was an opportunity for Aquatique Show to once again demonstrate its skills in integrating fountain equipment in extreme conditions.
Circus Knie; shows with incredible performances !
The Swiss National Circus Knie, founded in 1803 by Friedrich Knie, is today directed by Frédy Knie Jnr and Franco Knie. It is renowned for its dressage acts and has around 200 employees, presenting a new program every year in more than 20 locations across Switzerland. Circus Knie transformed into a circus under a big top in 1919 and has since included performances by unique artists who combine feats, dances and various stage effects.
A new mobile stage which incorporates a custom-made water show.
For the 2023 and 2024 editions, Circus Knie wanted a show that included water effects. In order to accommodate the equestrian acts, it was necessary to design a custom-made water show completely integrated into a mobile and foldable stage. Aquatique Show and the Guillet company with its Moving Stage brand have designed and created a unique stage capable of integrating water effects, projectors and other techniques with a recovery pool.
This stage is fully foldable and mobile to allow entry and exit from the stage, as well as rapid and efficient assembly and disassembly.
The stage includes straight jets, arches and tulip effects which allow to accompany choreographic sequences, but also to perform a real water show with music.
An Aquavision water wall to dress a stage elevator
In the middle of this mobile stage, Guillet built a platform which raises the artists above the stage to highlight some acts: Aquatique Show dressed this platform with a water “dress” based on our Aquavision water walls.
2023 shows have integrated an Aqua Graphic water curtain
For the 2023 edition, Circus Knie added our circular Aqua Graphic water curtain in the center and around the show. A magical effect which created a particular rhythm and gave another dimension to the whole show.
This creation was a real challenge taken up by Aquatique Show and this renewed collaboration with the Guillet company. Thanks to the audacity of Circus Knie, the public was able to discover a wonderful and immersive show that kept them in suspense until the end.
