Activists Disrupt Circus Krone’s Christmas Premiere in Munich

Officials have not confirmed a motive despite longstanding criticism of the circus’s animal acts.

Overview

  • Two demonstrators, a woman and a man, ran into the ring during the premiere and tried to unfurl a banner.
  • The lights were switched off during the incident, and security removed the pair to applause from the audience.
  • Outside the tent, confrontations broke out between other individuals and circus employees.
  • Munich police responded to de-escalate the situation and called in additional units for support.
  • The winter show, titled “Ich. Du. Wir. Krone,” features acrobatic acts and performances with horses, camels, and lions.
