Festival Circolo 2024: more intimate than ever before

From October 18 to 27, the Spoorpark in Tilburg will once again transform into the vibrant festival heart of Festival Circolo. For ten days, the largest circus festival in the Netherlands presents contemporary circus at top level. Today Festival Circolo launches the program of its 14th edition, in which it seeks intimacy between visitor and performer.

Festival Circolo 2024 will be more intimate than ever before. The program draws visitors close to itself to share stories about big themes and deep feelings from this closeness. Through this intimacy, we discover that we often stare too much at our own navel, while a look into someone's eyes, hearing a voice or a story told in body language touches much deeper when the distance is reduced. Festival Circolo 2024 offers the chance to hold your heart close and really feel it beating.

Everything and everyone

Festival Circolo 2024 is for everyone, and this is reflected in the diverse program. From dry-comic family performances to avant-garde circus and everything in between. For example, visitors can feast their eyes on CERAMIC CIRCUS by Swiss acrobat Julian Vogel, a circus talent that explosively brings together ceramic art and circus. The French company Un Loup Pour L'Homme takes visitors on a theatrical, acrobatic, musical adventure full of risk and dynamism. In addition, visitors can discover more than 20 performances by young and more established makers in the Spoorpark, Schouwburg and Concertzaal Tilburg, Theater de Nieuwe Vorst, and other locations throughout the city center.

Bridging gaps

More than ever, Festival Circolo is committed to bridging the gap between audience and performer, and between festival and environment. Barriers are being broken down and efforts are being made to create a level and equal experience, bringing everyone as close together as possible. As part of these efforts, the festival restaurant has been modified to allow visitors to dine side by side with performers. This gives everyone a chance to briefly become part of the circus family before the acrobats move on, out into the wider world.
