Zirkusquartier Zurich
Space for contemporary circus
The Zirkusquartier is Zurich’s production, performance, training, and learning center for contemporary circus and the home of the Zirkus Chnopf.
With its diverse program of shows, workshops, and courses, Zirkusquartier invites visitors of all ages to explore the many facets of circus and get involved themselves. It also offers a wide range of opportunities and resources for professional circus artists.
The Zirkusquartier is a vibrant meeting place for children, teenagers, and adults; for professionals and hobbyists; for visitors and circus artists; and, above all, for the local community. It offers a welcoming space to learn, train, perform, and connect.
Founded in 2016 by Zirkus Chnopf, the Zirkusquartier continues to serve as the company’s creative home, where new productions are developed and rehearsed.
10 Years of Zirkusquartier
We’re celebrating our anniversary—with shows, DJs, and a festive circus night full of surprises!
The Zirkusquartier was established in 2016 as the winter home of the Zirkus Chnopf, and over the past 10 years it has evolved into a centre for contemporary circus with a wide range of offerings.
Let’s celebrate at the Nuit du Cirque! There will be two circus shows, drinks from the bar, and wraps from Zirkus Chnopf. On Saturday night, DJ sets ranging from baile to techno will make the Güterbahnhof shake, and circus surprises—from burlesque to clownesque, from spectacular to sentimental—will make the night shine.
Celebrate the past 10 years with us—let’s raise a glass and hit the dance floor together!

Canceled: 39th Open Stage
Dear visitors to the Zirkusquartier,
We regret to inform you that the “Open Stage” planned for tonight and the Walk-in Closet clothing swap meet next Sunday have to be canceled.
This decision was made for operational and organizational reasons, which currently make it impossible for us to hold the events as planned. We would like to assure you that we are taking the situation very seriously and are working at full speed to be able to hold the program in the Zirkusquartier as planned as soon as possible.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this cancellation may cause you. We greatly appreciate your support and understanding during this challenging time.
Please keep an eye on our website and social media channels for further developments. We are already looking forward to welcoming you back to Zirkusquartier soon.
Yours sincerely,
The Zirkusquartier Team
The platform for short formats!
Not all good ideas are full-length and some simply have to be tried out in front of an audience. An evening full of short pieces by various artists from different genres.
In addition to the contributions, there will also be first insights into the new creation 2024 of Circus Chopf!
Would you like to contribute something?
On our newly built stage, directly on Hardplatz, we will turn the spotlight on you! A loving audience is looking forward to your art – all genres are welcome, the stage is open!
Whether you want to stand on stage or sit in the audience: we are looking forward to seeing you!
