WHAT A CIRCUS AT CHAPLIN’S PLACE!
What better way than a circus show to pay tribute to Chaplin? For two weeks, Chaplin’s World will feature big top performances by “L’Alchimie” circus school, among other surprises.

For the 130th anniversary of Chaplin’s birth, Chaplin’s World (in partnership with “L’Alchimie”) will set up a circus tent in the museum’s park. Three shows will be performed daily, by children and professionals, over the two-week holiday break in the Canton of Vaud (no performances on Thursdays).
In a 1920s circus atmosphere, the performers will juggle hats and perform high-speed chases, and all sorts of acrobatic feats, accompanied by a children’s orchestra playing songs written by Chaplin.
