6. berlin circus festival I online
From 11.12. to 20.12. the Berlin Circus Festival was live for 240h. In this media library you can access the live streams and various formats, experiments and creations - a testimony to the online edition of the Berlin Circus Festival.
Since a live event wasn't possible, we wanted to offer a creative-artistic space that reacts to the critical needs of the artists and offers the possibility to stay active and experimentally explore one's creativity.

The image of artists and residents on a piece of carpet stands as a metaphor for “physical distancing” and at the same time for a unifying action that overcomes the barriers between the participants. |
