Meanwhile in Germany...  This circus is using holograms instead of real animals.

00:00It can't be that today elephants, crocodiles, rhinos and other animals are transported across Europe.

00:29The circus has always used the most modern things in the course of its history.

00:36For example, when the electric light came on, it was one of the first in the circus to incorporate it into the shows.

00:43I think it is timely today, instead of living elephants, to show a hologram of elephants.

00:52This is much more interesting for children, adults and the general public than animal husbandry today.

01:04We are really shocked by the feedback. We have received hundreds of thousands of letters that all welcomed it.

01:26There was also a large target group that did not go to the circus because animals were trained there.

01:33They want to see acrobats, clowns and other technical achievements.

01:40That amazed us and encouraged us to continue in this direction.

01:45I was not sure at first whether it would work. I wanted it that way.

01:50It is my decision, my circus and it is up to you to start and work in this direction.

01:58We have now also introduced other things. For example, we are the first circus that is plastic-free.

02:04In addition to the usual catering offer, we have now also adopted vegan and vegetarian.
