This year I have partly produced analogue videos for the presentation of the artists. The artists were so kind to send us private photos and answer some questions about their lives. Thus, 24 x one-minute films have emerged which accompanied by the sensitive moderation of Axel S. have given a little insight into the life of the artists. Also this year, the choreographies of Sonia Bartuccelli were wonderfully choroegraphed. As in the past years, I have brought together both groups of the competition A and B and let them play / dance in both shows. A large group should pose and no A and B compete against each other.

Traditional circus meets contemporary circus from all over Europe. A wonderful mix that can hardly be more beautiful. In times of Brexit it shows how Europe can be lived. Diversity becomes a family. Is there something better?
