LOS RODOGELL

The Ramos family was best known in the artistic world as the Rodogel Brothers, and many think that this was their stage name, but the real reason they adopted this name came when they were working with their show in Matehuala Mexico. Working for a famous circus, Andres, Gabino, and Antonio executed a gymnastic act with bars, while Ignacio, Pascaul, Manuel, and Albino performed a teeter board act, for which they were recognized in the circus world. In the nineteen fifties, the Ramos family reopened their own show under the name Circus of the Dead with the Rodogel brothers. Why did they choose that fatal name for their circus? It was one of the last shows in Mexico that presented the combat to the death between an African Lion and a Bull of the field in every show, before the authorities in the northern states of the Republic prohibited these types of exhibitions. Circus of the Dead disappeared in 1970, but the descendents of the second generation continued as circus performers, and they even opened a small circus where the following generation, Bernardo, Alejandro, and Eduardo Ramos (the sons of Antonio), continued the legacy of the circus with the flying trapeze. They were later joined by the children of the Bernardo: Douglas, Oliver, Jessica, and their daughter in law Derileisy.
In the year 1983 the Ramos family entered the United States working for the circus Carson and Barnes with their spectacular trapeze act. With this exhibit they traveled to many countries such as Germany, Switzerland, and Austria with Circus Louis Knie; Sweden, Norway, and Holland, with Circus Scott; Spain with Circus Mundial, Canada and the U.S. with Circus Gatti, and finally working in Circus Circus casino in Las Vegas. They also performed in Grenoble, France and the Monte Carlo Festival to receive recognition for their brilliant trapeze act. They were the only Mexican act to include three catchers, the black light, and the Russian swing, differing from the classic trapeze that had only one catcher, bringing a different aesthetic perspective to their act. This is how the Ramos Rodogel family has gained worldwide recognition.

In December of 2005 they decided to open their own circus in the United States west coast under title The Mexican National Circus presented by The Ramos Brother's Circus, bringing a first class show as only they know how to do with jugglers, clowns, horses, motorcycle dare devils, and the amazing flying trapeze. This two hour live performance filled with thrills and excitement will have you on the edge of your seat. Now, the Ramos Family dedicates this unforgettable evening full of magic and joy to children of all ages!
