Gankino Circus

Gankino Circus is back with a new show: a glamorous Saturday night spectacle with a touch of small-town madness! These musical high-wire artists, familiar from radio and TV, present a rock ’n’ roll spectacle that’s as wild as it is masterful, complete with unbridled dialect pop. But unlike their competitors on local TV, everything with Gankino Circus is live: no lip-syncing, no
double bottom—just groundbreaking musicality and spontaneous entertainment!
In 2007, the four childhood friends from Dietenhofen in Franconia set out to gleefully tear down all musical barriers and pesky stylistic rules. Today, the troupe operates somewhere between musical cabaret and a party demolition squad.
So does the tongue-in-cheek title of their latest stroke of genius really set the tone? One might doubt it.
Now performing on major stages, the four globetrotters from East-West Central Franconia know the turmoil that arises when you’re suddenly catapulted back into the sleepy village idyll of your own youth and confronted there with the very opposite of rock ’n’ roll. Time and again, these well-traveled, exceptional artists are drawn back to their roots: back to Dietenhofen Rock City, where the bus only
stops twice a day and love is still measured in hectares, where summer smells like Spezi and the four friends feel like aliens—even though it’s their home. These masterful musicians, eccentric characters, and gifted storytellers recount all of this in their new program, just as they offer whimsical insights into the world of cabaret showbiz. So it’s going to be offbeat, subtle, and very, very funny once again...
