astonishing and modernised edition, thanks to the
sophisticated new lighting.
Let's not forget that it is a “festival”. During the closing
ceremony, the “golden star, silver star and bronze
star” will be awarded, a prized reward for the artists.
With an orchestra of musicians under the direction of
Edward Tyburski, this year once again Christophe
Ivanes will be our loyal master of ceremonies.
Stefan Agnessen's Irish “Golden Tinker” horses will
open proceedings with a splendid cavalry show.
Francesco the clown, in his illuminated costume, will
be lighting up the attractions to the tune of his concertina.

The Parisian dancers directed by choreograph
Laurent Adoner will be providing some dreaminess,
strass and feathers.
Thrills will not be in short supply with a remarkable trapeze
number a contortionist, a very poetic equilibrist,
a troop of acrobats all the way from Morocco or even
Sasha the frogman.
But let's not forget the beasts! This year, Siberian
tigers, Atlas lions and for the very first time in Belgium,
the famous white lions.
Children and adults alike will be able to admire the
Swiss horses as well as African and Asian elephants,
whilst enjoying some fun with the traditional clowns.
