MUCH Circus Festival - 4-6 April

April, spring awakening, circus!



Spring is here and so is the second edition of MUCH Festival, with three full days of contemporary circus productions from the local and international scene. Our goal is to celebrate and connect circus arts with old and new audiences, strengthen professional connections, and initiate conversations. Between 4-6 April, MUCH Festival presents local and international performances, work-in-progress presentations, roundtable discussions, and workshops on diverse circus techniques.

***You can attend the shows with a MUCH Festival day ticket, valid for all the evening programmes of the day. There is also a 3-evening MUCH PASS!
