It's that time again! After a successful start in 2023, the Ruhr region will once again take part in the world's largest circus festival LA NUIT DU CIRQUE with a strong festival program as part of ZEIT FÜR ZIRKUS. In Bochum, Dortmund, Essen, Herne, Mülheim an der Ruhr and Witten, a dense festival program will be offered over three days at 8 venues with 9 events. Performances, audience discussions, exhibitions, workshops and crossover events are intended not only to inspire enthusiasm for contemporary circus, but also to build a bridge to the support of young artists in the region. This is exciting for audiences of all ages, has a network effect in all directions and is also a strong signal that new circus is experiencing a significant upswing in the region!
