The future of circus is feminist
Our festival Cirque Mania shows that circus is growing and blossoming. Allow yourself to be surprised by all that this four day festival has to offer. Because circus is by and for everyone who doesn't want to put themselves in a box. Unless that's your act of course.
This edition is all about female makers: a weekend full of shows created and performed by female circusmakers. In a lot of fields, the male to female ratio is disbalanced and in the circus world that’s no difference. Eventhough there are a lot of female performers, there is a disbalance when looking at circus artists that create. With this female edition of Cirque Mania we aim to create space for female circus creators and their work.
In March 2016 Korzo hosted the very first Cirque Mania weekend, with which we wished to create a place for the emerging developments in ‘New Circus’. Currently there are many such festivals and weekends throughout the country and circus has become a familiar part of Korzo and The Hague.

Sometimes you see a performance and think: I want to be able to do that too. Well, you can: for all young people (ages 15-25) who want to do more than just watch a show, we are organizing a workshop during Cirque Mania. In this workshop, you can delve into circus creator Júlia Campistany's movement language and the theme of her performance Peluda, which revolves around the different relationships you can have with your own hair.
And you can go see Peluda, too: all workshop participants receive a discount on a ticket to Peluda on Friday, Sept. 27.
For whom: young people aged 15-25 with (a little) movement experience who want to learn from professional creators.
Price: €15 (workshop) or €20 (combination of the workshop + performance visit).
Friday 27 + Saturday 28 September €20.00 (instead of €25.00)
Peluda - La Campistany | Fri Sep 27 - 20:30
