CIRCLE 2025

Join the CIRCLE experience on 19-24 october 2025, and enjoy unforgettable circus students' performances!

This year, participating students will have to face a new challenge as they explore the theme "Inside Out," which directly connects to Take Care — the first-ever EU project focusing on mental health and well-being in the circus arts sector. CIRCLE 2025 will therefore encourage young artists to forge new artistic pathways while addressing the mental health challenges within the circus community.
