Circus artist Ferenc Nagy dies in road accident

Ferenc Nagy, an award-winning circus artist and member of the Recirquel Company, has died following a tragic road accident. Nagy was a highly regarded performer specializing in rhönrad (wheel acrobatics) and was a recipient of the Karádi Béla and Hortobágyi Károly prizes.

Born in Makó, Nagy achieved international recognition, performing in numerous productions across the globe, including a significant tenure with the Flic-Flac circus in Germany. He was known for his charismatic stage presence and was a prominent figure in both Hungarian and international circus arts.

In response to the tragedy, the Recirquel Company has canceled its ‘Walk My World’ performances scheduled for Thursday and Friday. The company will hold a moment of silence during its Saturday evening performance and has announced that all proceeds from its October 25 performance will be donated to support the grieving family.
