Czech contemporary circus

Spend the final week of April with Czech contemporary circus! Czech Contemporary Circus Showcase presents 20 recent projects some of which are still work in progress by Czech artists. The featured shows were selected by a five-member jury from 37 contenders. You will discover young circus artists, graduates of circus academies with their bold experiments as well as large spectacular productions by established artists. During the showcase week, registered viewers will be able to go online and watch shows which have already premiered as well as peek into the rehearsal rooms and creative laboratories of the featured circus artists. Veronika Štefanová will host a live discussion series with all the featured artists who will also be available for live online encounters with the audience.
