Our gala shows the first steps out of the comfort zone towards new ideas and the exploration of possibilities. Because circus is not just circus, we open our stage to all people who want to show their own interpretation of circus.
Finding one's own expression can become just as visible as the experimental search itself. Dare to stand out and do something different, because circus is not just circus, just as music is not just music!
After the show, the audience will have the opportunity to talk to the artists and ask questions about the performances they have just seen.
