From October 16 to November 9, 2025, the spectacular circus show "Ohlala X" conquers the Chapiteau in Kloten. Gregory Knie and his team present the latest edition of their cult format - and this time it's going to be even hotter.
When the doors of the impressive Chapiteau in Kloten open, a journey into a world of deep black, gleaming gold and sensual red begins. "Ohlala X" - the title of the new show - promises nothing less than a revolution of the senses.
"X - like a shadow in the light, perceptible but never tangible - until now," explains Gregory Knie, the creative mind behind the successful format. After years of continuous development, the showmaster of the Knie dynasty now presents his most personal and intense production to date.
The concept of "Ohlala X" is as simple as it is ingenious: step by step, the audience approaches the hidden together with the artists. The result is a symbiosis of acrobatic flights of fancy, artistic extremes and "sinfully beautiful moments", as Knie promises.
The show is aimed at an adult audience (admission from the age of 16) and makes no secret of the fact that it offers more than traditional circus fare. Lust, sin and secret desires are at the heart of a production that combines entertainment and eroticism at the highest level.
At the heart of the show is the international cast that Gregory Knie has brought together from all corners of the world:
White Gothic is the name of the four muscle-bound acrobats from the Ukraine who, as world and European champions in sports acrobatics, bring not only technical perfection but also pure sensuality to the stage. Their "Hand to Hand" performances show the human body as a work of passionate art.
David Eriksson from Sweden has almost three decades of stage experience. The comedian and circus artist promises bizarre surprises that will amaze the audience time and time again.
Jenny, the Russian-born tightrope artist, combines powerful dynamics with feminine aesthetics. Her European tours have made her a sought-after artist who uses the rope as a stage for pure energy.
Christopher Togni comes from one of Italy's most legendary circus dynasties. His handstand performances are masterclasses in sculptural stillness paired with explosive energy - a legacy he celebrates on the world's biggest stages.
Duo Since Moment combines hair hanging, dental elements and fluid role changes to create a performance that is both daring and intimate. Strength and confidence merge to create an unforgettable experience.
Gregory Knie has long since turned "Ohlala" into more than just a show. The experience begins even before the performance with various culinary offerings.
New this year is the LoveBite dinner experience, in which delicious cuisine and breathtaking art merge to create an unforgettable evening. The concept demonstrates Gregory Knee's understanding of holistic entertainment - the aim is to appeal to all the senses.
After the show, the party continues: on Friday and Saturday evenings, the Chapiteau is transformed into a vibrant club with an "explosive mix of pulsating beats, electrifying energy and an irresistible atmosphere". Entry to the party is free for all ticket holders.
Gregory Knie himself is anything but a traditional circus ringmaster. With his rocking appearance and his vision for modern entertainment, he has made a name for himself as the "rock star among showmasters". His shows "Ohlala" and the parallel winter circus "Salto" attract large audiences from all over Switzerland year after year.
"For me, the key word is 'development'," Knie explains his philosophy to Radio Lozärn. "The new and further development of ideas and concepts has fascinated me from the very beginning. Every year brings new challenges and the opportunity to work with different people."
With over ten years of experience, "Ohlala" has established itself as a permanent fixture in the Swiss entertainment landscape. The show combines the tradition of the famous Knie circus family with modern forms of staging and international trends.
