Enjoy the festive season at the Folies Gruss!

The Alexis Gruss Company

the illustrious company

The Alexis Gruss company comes from a couple that formed in 1868 with the marriage between Charles Gruss, who was initially a stonemason, and Maria Martinetti, who came from a family of horsemen and women and acrobats who had had their own circus tent since the 1850s. Gradually, the equestrian aspect of the family grew stronger and, in the fourth generation, Alexis Gruss’ name was made famous by founding the Cirque à l’Ancienne in 1974.

A family dynasty

We have been living and working together for years.

Our show is the fruit of a rigorous education, a faithful and respectful transmission and a daily solidarity with our family, our artists and our horses.

Our values

As a show creator, the Company creates links and strong emotions.

The Folies Gruss is an ideal venue for charity events and galas. The Princesse Margot association, the Fondation Jérôme Lejeune and the Apprentis d’Auteuil are all institutions that champion causes that are as important as any other. The Compagnie Alexis Gruss is fortunate to be able to welcome them and offer them artistic, musical and culinary performances, enabling them to offer their protégés and members unforgettable, unifying moments.

These associations share essential values with the Compagnie Alexis Gruss: solidarity, generosity and faith in the strength of family ties. That’s why the Compagnie is proud to work with them under its big top. Such a union is one of the finest symbols of all that the artists of the Alexis Gruss family stand for.
