Your go-to festival for experimental circus theatre.
Cirque Mania is coming back! For a weekend, experience that circus is much, much more than a red tent, a clown and a chubby director. Allow yourself to be surprised by all that Cirque Mania 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.
From sawdust to theatre plush… 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 circus has become a familiar part of Korzo and The Hague.

Cirque Dinner Special
Curated by Michael Zandl
During Cirque Mania, in-house maker Michael Zandl invites you to the Cirque Dinner Special: a dinner curated by him with delicious food and surprising performances. Michael shares a colourful peek of where he’s at right now as a circus artist, while you enjoy a welcome drink, a main course and a dessert. With short performances by up-and-coming circus talent in between.
The table is set in the Korzo Club, will you join us?
