CIRCLE 2025

Inside Out

19-24 October 2025 in Auch (FRA)

Join us for CIRCLE 2025!

Join the CIRCLE experience from Sunday 19/10 to Friday 24/10, and enjoy unforgettable circus performances created by students!

This year, participating students will have to face a new challenge as they explore the theme "Inside Out," which directly connects to Take Care — the first-ever EU project focusing on mental health and well-being in the circus arts sector. CIRCLE 2025 will therefore encourage young artists to forge new artistic pathways while addressing the mental health challenges within the circus community.
