We got to see this new 2026 edition at a preview!

An incredible show with horses, but above all a beautiful story of family and passion! Three generations of the Gruss family pay tribute to Alexis Gruss, the company’s founder who passed away in 2024, through song and dance!

A story told through comedy and incredible acrobatics: horses, acrobatics, and live music!

And the best part? After the show, you can meet the performers at the after-show and take a photo with them!
