Cirque Mania #19

No body, no circus.

Circus is growing, circus is blossoming! Cirque Mania presents all the emerging developments in circus theatre (New Circus). A festival that showcases all the depths and surprising elements of the genre. 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 puts the human body centre stage. The limits of what are humanly possible are defied. But sometimes those limits are met. The makers in this years programme reflect on the transient body, the vulnerable body and the body in relation to a space.   

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.
