Berlin's Tempelhof Area Transformed: 12-Day Spectacle of Acrobatics, Art, and Bizarre Extravagance during the Berlin Circus Festival
The 11th Berlin Circus Festival: A Celebration of Contemporary Circus and Diversity
The 11th Berlin Circus Festival is set to captivate audiences from July 30 to August 10, 2025, at Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin. This 12-day extravaganza will showcase 19 productions and 51 performances, showcasing the best of contemporary circus arts with a diverse range of artistic forms [1].
The festival promises a mix of solo physical performances, technologically experimental ensemble shows, and an international program featuring both emerging and established European artists [1]. Some of the unique performances include Marianna de Sanctis' one-woman show, Mother.Woman.Artist, which combines hula hooping with a discussion on the conditions of motherhood as a cultural worker. Les Quat'fers en l'air's Gravir presents alpine climber-acrobats contemplating the urge to venture higher and leap into flight. Cirque Exalté's Foutoir Céleste blends BMX, acrobatics, and trapeze in a jubilant exhibition [1].
The festival's spectacle embraces performers' eccentricities, with productions like Meander, a collaboration between Knot on Hands, Martha & Kim, and Felix Zech, translating geological rhythms into leaps, holds, and collective stunts, featuring human mountains and seismic group spectacle. Companie Moost invites the audience to a dinner party that transforms into surreal landscapes, acrobatics, and slapstick comedy in Natures Mortes. Memoirs of Mud brings together soil, sound, and sisterhood, considering the relationship between circus and ecology [1].
In addition to these performances, the festival actively promotes social inclusion and professional exchange. From August 1 to 4, it offers industry-focused events such as artist panels, international roundtables, pitching sessions for new shows, and an Open Stage dedicated to FLINTA (female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans, and agender) performers, fostering global collaboration and visibility [1].
The festival's outdoor atmosphere is emphasised, with performances taking place in multiple tents and open-air venues at Tempelhofer Feld. The big white tent will be pitched on Tempelhofer Feld for the duration of the festival [1][3].
The Berlin Circus Festival is renowned for its experimental and inclusive approach, attracting a diverse audience from all over the world. While the festival's performances are in various languages, specific details on language accommodations are not yet available [1][3].
