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.
Cirque Mania #19 will take place in Korzo from 20 to 23 March 2025! The program is released and the ticket sales has started:
Thursday 20th March 2025 is the Korzo Salon. This event for creators during Cirque Mania focuses on mental health within the performing arts. Read more!
During Cirque Mania there is a lot more to see and experience in the Korzo foyer. Such as special Mania Cocktails and artist Britt van Eijk also exhibits prints of drawings. With her drawings Britt organically expresses the ‘non-physical’ of being human. ‘By drawing an expressive physical form that expresses how something feels inside, a feeling becomes something you can touch and view sensually and the individual and ethereal part of it disappears.’ Take a look at her Instagram or webshop.

About the festival
This 19th edition revolves around the circus performer and the body. Performers search for the limits of the human body. Can I go just one step further with this act? Or am I really pushing the boundaries of what is humanly possible? The makers of this Cirque-edition venture beyond the imaginable, but also show the body's limitations. What if your body does not cooperate, or you find out it can no longer perform the same tricks as before?
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.
