Cirque Mania #19
Circus festival Cirque Mania returns for its 19th edition in Korzo, The Hague. This spring the focus will be on makers who push the boundaries of the human body and enchant the spectator with spectacular stunts, unique movements and innovative storytelling. Circus programmer Mirjam Zwanenburg selected a program in which strength, vulnerability and imagination come together.
- SENESCENCE: Try-out by Korzo home maker Camiel Corneille, who reflects on transience and asks whether growing older is really inevitable. Itch: A personal, soft circus solo by Christopher McAuley about living with a chronic skin condition (Dutch premiere).
- PAKMAN: An internationally acclaimed performance in the back of a small truck, presented in collaboration with Festival Dag in de Branding.
- RIPPLE: A spectacular ending in which a gigantic metal spiral transforms the stage, performed by TeaTime Company.

About Cirque Mania
Cirque Mania is a biannual festival where you see the latest developments in circus theater. A festival that shows the genre in its full breadth and always surprises. In the new circus you don't see clowns and fat directors; spectacular stunts, groundbreaking body movements and innovative storytelling. Circus is by and for everyone who does not want to squeeze themselves into a box. Unless that's your act of course.
Korzo
Seven years ago, Korzo organized the very first Cirque Mania weekend to provide a place for developments in the emerging circus theater.
