Zirkus ON -
The Creative Alliance for Circus Arts
in and from Germany
Zirkus ON promotes artistic development,
visibility and professionalisation of the circus scene,
and thus strengthens and shapes circus art in and from Germany.
By means of knowledge transfer, mentoring, residencies, presentations, production support as well as early connection to professional structures, Zirkus ON brings together aspiring circus artists, organizers, educational institutions and performance venues nationwide
– to promote quality, joy in experimentation, audience acquisition, touring, aesthetic discourses and the recognition of contemporary circus.
The next open call for the 2026/2027 edition is expected to be published in December 2025.
Zirkus ON is being funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media as part of the German Federal Association of the Independent Performing Arts's programme "Verbindungen fördern".
