CIRCUS BRIDGE

AUGUST 2016-december 2018

MiklagårdArts kicked off a collaborative project Circus Bridge with three distinguished partners operating in the field of contemporary circus and performing arts: Cirko, Maracat Caravan and FeverChina. These four partners join forces aiming to build a bridge between the innovative Finnish contemporary circus and the ancient traditions of Chinese circus and acrobatics.
