CIRCLE is coming! FEDEC invites circus students from all over Europe and beyond to join an unforgettable experience at the Circa Festival in Auch (FRA), one of Europe’s premier contemporary circus festivals.

CIRCLE offers emerging circus artists a unique opportunity to perform 30-minute shows on an international stage.
