Nomadic Circuses
Originally, nomadic circuses are migratory families that bring a 'traditional' performance: a series of circus acts, connected by the ringmaster's speeches (usually the circus manager). Even though such circuses in Flanders prospered mostly in the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, there are still a number of active nomadic circuses: Circus Barones, Circus Bavaria, Circus Pauwels, Circus Picolini, Magic Circus, Circus Rose-Marie Malter and Wiener Circus.
Still, there are other circus companies that focus on new forms of circus arts (circus theatre, dance, street theatre) and feel attracted to travelling around with a circus tent. Among those are: Circo Ripopolo, Circus Plusminus, Circus Marcel, Circus Ronaldo, Cirque Cirq'u'laire, Hendrik & Co, Théâtre d'un Jour, Hoetchatcha and Cie Circ'ombelico, although, the latter travels with a rebuilt old-timer truck.
