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!

39th open stage
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 a wide variety of artists – the stage is open and all genres are welcome!
The moderation and magic duo Migi & Jami (Variété Triché & Zauberart) guides us through the evening.
Whether you want to stand on stage or sit in the audience: we are looking forward to seeing you!
Do you want to be on stage too?
We turn the spotlights on you and a loving audience awaits your art. All disciplines are welcome!
If there are many registrations, we reserve the right to give preference to circus-related contributions.
You can register until October 10 with a contribution of a maximum of 10 minutes, after which we will let you know whether you can participate. We will try to accept as many registrations as possible, but will have to make a selection depending on the number of registrations.
