From A to Z, Alexis Grüss presents the “Dictionary of my life”, behind the scenes of a life of passion spent in the tents and on the track, shared with generations of spectators. He also looks back on the latest creation of the Folies Grüss which brings together 24 artists, 50 horses, singing and live music, under the marquee of the Bois de Boulogne.
As an epigraph to the book, this handwritten sentence: ” If the one who masters the gesture does not transmit it at the very moment when he is able to execute it, this gesture is lost forever. “. And above the signature, a greeting as personal as it is full of humour: “Grüssbises”.
Alexis Gruss of his first name, the son, the father and the grandfather of the dynasty which bears his name, and which is in the 7e generation, is the guest of VMDN. An artist, a mountebank, trapeze artist, acrobat, clown, musician, squire…
A story of love and passion that he tells in 26 letters in “ The dictionary of my life ”, published in Kero editions.
