Not all good ideas are full-length and some simply have to be tried out in front of an audience. We can expect a varied program with short pieces by artists from various disciplines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you want to stand on stage or sit in the audience: we are looking forward to seeing you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you want to be on stage too?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spotlight is 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 September 11th with a contribution of maximum 10 minutes, after that we will let you know if 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Registration deadline: February 12<\/p>\n\n\n\n
