Huge circus, what you can see on the old and faded photo above, was founded by Chiquine Bouglione in the
year of 1880. If you watched a closing of Winter Olympic games in Tourino, I need not to explain you, how much circus
means circus for heirs of romans. I'll say! It were their forefathers, who built first real circus. And it doesn't matter
what they showed there. Now, becides you can see modelling of the battle in much circus shows. Look at ballet "Spartak"
or chinese opera. Circus dynasty Bouglione counts several generations. AMong them there are a foundator Ciquine Bouglione,
Jean-Baptiste Bouglione, his son Sampion, Joseph Bouglione, Firmin Bouglione, father of today's owner Alexander and
his sister Anna, called almost by everybody Annushka. I think, I need not tell, how much means family for
italians. For them parents (of course, people everywhere must think in this way) are second after God.
If we will look at pages of the souvenir album with published photos of different years, which Alexander gave to my father,
you can look how circus was growing up. In the year 1926 it was small tent with smaller pavillions, but now it became
a four-masts shapito, where perform artists from different countries. And among the, there were Maichrovsky family. They
work very strong programme with sea lions. I and my brother spend very :) good time with their daughter Natasha.
Becides, it was this year (1992), when to Brussels, where Bouglione worked, arrived a foundator of Maichrovsky dynasty
(now I can easily speak about a dynasty, because I heard, that Natasha began to perform with own programme),
clown (I'n sorry, but I don't perfoms he nowdays or not). Also there was russian trio, who worked with as (family couple and
their friend). They worked "doll" and throwing board. Their twelve-years old daughter I can to characterize like a generator
of wonderful ideas :) We taught in school in Russian Federation's consulate in Belgium and at one holiday we, three, she,
I and Natasha perform with own programme. I'm sorry, but can say more about this circus: I don't know more.
So, this retelling step by step becomes a story about the author of this web-page and I can speak about it endlessly.
:) But, for all that, I will put a point.
