CIRKLABO-festival
In 2025, the circus workplace CIRKLABO supports more than forty circus companies from home and abroad. In December, we present an exciting selection from that group, featuring three premieres and fresh work that took shape in our workplace.
The common thread is light—ranging from gentle to boldly experimental. During the darkest days of the year, creators explore how light can bend body, space, and rhythm, how it deceives and reveals again. Innovative circus that shines, flickers, disappears, and returns precisely when you least expect it!
