"Make way for the most beautiful show of the month, the year, the decade... And maybe even the century… Rare are the shows where poetry is so bewitching and contagious. A true little gem."
– Igor Hansen-Love, L'Express

In 1970, Victoria Chaplin met the actor and director Jean-Baptiste Thierrée. Together, they dreamed of a different kind of circus and created Le Cirque Bonjour. Later, they moved on, and their work took a more personal approach to the circus arts, with an important place given to phantasmagoria. Bells and Spells, which was launched in 2018, is the third collaboration between  Victoria Thierrée Chaplin and her daughter Aurélia Thierrée. As with every show, the one who grew up under her parents' big top is accompanied by the dancer Jaime Martinez.
