The historic Circo Atayde, a Mexican circus institution with 138 years of history, arrives in Europe for the first time to present its shows at Madrid's Teatro Circo Price from October 9 to 18.

The Teatro Circo Price, an venue managed by the Culture, Tourism, and Sport Area of the Madrid City Council, hosts for the first time in Europe the shows of Circo Atayde. This spectacle, suitable for all audiences, commemorates the 138 years of history of this emblematic Mexican circus company.
The program features high-flying acrobatics, surprising acts, humor, and live music performed by an orchestra. Circo Atayde crosses the Atlantic to present in Madrid a show that blends tradition, talent, and innovation, designed to thrill the entire family. The stage direction is by Artús Chávez and Alfredo Atayde, aiming to champion the essence of grand circus: wonder, shared emotion, and bringing together spectators of all ages.

The performance highlights the essential elements of the circus experience: the artists, the ring, the risk, and the excitement of live entertainment.
The history of Circo Atayde is intrinsically linked to the family that has accompanied it since its inception. Currently, the institution is led by the fourth and fifth family generations, who have preserved its historical legacy while innovating, ensuring each show is a memorable experience.
Its arrival in Madrid marks a new chapter in this long trajectory and signifies an encounter between the European public and one of Mexico's great circus traditions. For ten days, the Teatro Circo Price will be the stage for this historic European debut.
