Royal Hanneford Circus, has been a circus of choice for over 100 years, we are proud and pleased to say that “the tradition continues” And it is easy to see why! Rave notices, standing ovations, and thunderous applause are attributed to the unique talents of Catherine, Mariana, Adrian Jr. and Tommy, 8th generation performers following in the tradition and footsteps of there ancestors! Father, Adri
an Poema, 6th generation performer from Buenos Aires Argentina, started performing at the tender age of 3 with his Family's Risley act in Argentina. An accomplished acrobat and performer, one of the few to perfect the difficult "one-finger stand", with great pride, performs with his childrens and wife in the presentation of the Hanneford Poema Shows. Mother, Nellie Hanneford, 7th generation circus performer and daughter of the late Tommy and Struppi Hanneford, was literally "born in the Trunk" began her circus career at the age of 2. An accomplished Equestrian and Aerialist, now she assist and performance with her husband and children. Adrian and Nellie met while performing on the Royal Hanneford Circus, were married in 1995 and "Wa La" 4 beautiful children appear! Catherine, age 20, Mariana, age 18, Adrian Jr., age 16, and Tommy Hanneford Poema, age 10. It's no wonder that Catherine, Marina, and Adrian Jr are already accomplished acrobats, aerialists, and equestrians, and Tommy (poorolittle the clown) a "natural" following in his Grandfather's footsteps with comedy! This is truly a Family show that will leave you feeling good all over, acrobatic, thrill, agility, laughs, and excitement rolled into one package of genuine love for performing!
