For 2025, our festival is presented with the frame Bodies of Care, inviting audiences to explore circus work that embeds practices of care into the way it is made and performed and speaks to this important facet of human experience.
From hand-to-hand, bike acrobatics, hair hanging and contortion, to clowning, aerial silks, street dance on a giant treadmill, and some of the most complex and ingenious juggling in the world - we see care embodied as a strategy for survival, for resistance and for joy. Care as a willingness to be present with difficult experiences and recognise structural inequalities and care as a basis for collaboration and the making of brilliant and inclusive circus work.
Our festival passes allow you to experience the full breadth of the festival programme.
