New circus
New circus is gaining an ever-growing audience of all generations. As a modern form of theatre, it combines acrobatics, dance, physical theatre, live music and visual arts. The performances are often wordless, yet powerfully impressive – offering not only the tension and beauty of movement, but also emotions, humour and reflection.
About the festival
The city of Český Krumlov and, above all, the team of the iconic Prague Letní Letná, which has been setting the direction and expanding horizons in the field of new circus in the Czech Republic for two decades, are behind the festival. They are bringing the top of the Czech new circus scene to Krumlov. The main program will feature, for example, the award-winning Losers Cirque Company, known for its precise acrobatics and visually impressive performances, or Cirk La Putyka, which has been receiving ovations at home and abroad. Cirko Hopley will also be present with its humorous cooking and acrobatic show Teacrobat, which will entertain both young and old, and for which its creator Michal Mudrák received the Den Danske Cirkuspris award from the Danish Minister of Culture and a nomination for Thalia 2024.
The children's program deserves special attention. Don't expect classic fairy tales, but playful, interactive and artistically rich performances that develop the imagination and surprise with their originality. In addition, children can participate in circus workshops, games and creations themselves - so it's not just passive observation, but a living experience.
Circus Meanders is not just a festival, but a new space for meetings, curiosity and inspiration – right in the middle of the city, where a circus town will grow in the City Park during the festival. In addition to the marquees and theater tents, you will find a zone full of comfort, good food and drink in the shade of trees, where spectators, artists, families and curious passers-by will meet. Circus Meanders invites you not only to a performance, but also to a pleasant afternoon or evening in the park.
