The art of flying trapeze is about to make history with the arrival of the Flying Caballeros at the prestigious Monte-Carlo Festival 2025. This legendary Mexican family of trapeze artists will present an unforgettable act featuring a double porteur and two quadruple somersaults performed simultaneously.
This isn’t the first time the Flying Caballeros have captivated European audiences. Their debut at the Girona Festival in 2023 left everyone in awe, but what truly sets them apart is their ability to execute the infamous quadruple somersault—an achievement that only a handful of performers worldwide have accomplished. If that isn’t impressive enough, the Caballero family boasts three members who can perform the quadruple, a remarkable record in the circus world.
The Caballero family boasts a circus tradition that spans five generations. Their journey began in Mexico, initiated by founder Luis Caballero, who started the family-run traveling circus in Guadalajara before making their way to the United States in 2002.
The technical evolution and perfection in timing and movements displayed by Gunther, Anru, Marco Antonio, and Ruben Caballero Jr. have certainly made their trapeze act unique, earning them the prestigious recognition last September in the Gallery of Legends Hall of Fame of the World Acrobatics Society.
The 47th edition of the Monte-Carlo International Circus Festival, one of the most prestigious circus festivals in the world, will take place from January 17 to 26, 2025.
