Twelve-day spectacle of acrobatics, art, and quirkinessovertakes Tempelhof during Berlin Circus Festival
11th Berlin Circus Festival Kicks Off with a 12-Day Celebration of Contemporary Circus
The Berlin Circus Festival (BCF) is set to return for its 11th edition, transforming Tempelhofer Feld into a hub of quirkiness and idiosyncrasy from July 30 to August 10, 2025. This year's festival promises an exciting lineup of 19 productions and 51 performances, showcasing a diverse range of contemporary circus forms.
Among the highlights of the festival is Marianna de Sanctis’ Mother.Woman.Artist, a personal and theatrical contemporary circus narrative that explores motherhood as a cultural worker, featuring hula hooping and thought-provoking discussions. Other notable acts include Gravir by Les Quat’fers en l’air, a physical theatre/circus piece that emphasizes innovative circus forms, and Foutoir Céleste by Cirque Exalté, a genre-blurring production that combines BMX, acrobatics, and trapeze in a jubilant exhibition.
The festival also offers professional industry events from August 1–4, including artist panels, international roundtables, pitching sessions, and an Open Stage for FLINTA performers (women, lesbians, intersex, non-binary, trans, agender).
The performances will take place across multiple tents and open-air stages, with various languages used during the shows. Some of the acts to look forward to include Memoirs of Mud, a performance that considers the relationship between circus and ecology, featuring soil, sound, and sisterhood, and the surreal dinner party experience offered by Companie Moost's Natures Mortes, which transforms into surreal landscapes, acrobatics, and slapstick comedy.
For exact schedules of the individual productions and ticket purchases, checking the official Berlin Circus Festival website or their Instagram page (@berlincircusfestival) is recommended. Interested attendees should note that the festival's ticket information or pricing is not mentioned in the available information at this time.
So, mark your calendars and get ready to immerse yourself in an eclectic mix of circus performances that showcase the performers' eccentricities and push the boundaries of traditional circus art.
