Since the founding of the Berlin Circus Festival, we have been offering a platform for contemporary circus and creating a place for interaction and encounters.
But we want to make more possible! That's why there is now the BCF Festivalfriends!
As a Festivalfriend you have access to the inner workings of Berlin Circus Festival — through behind-the-scenes writing, invitations to artistic processes, an exclusive festival visit, and a shared voice in shaping part of the programme. Membership fees support the festival’s artistic work, including a residency for a local Berlin artist.
You have three support options to choose from, while what you receive remains the same. Becoming a FestivalFriends is a way to support contemporary circus while being invited into the processes, conversations, and decisions that shape the festival.
