Introductions and Talks

We regularly organise introductions to the performance, where you can learn more about the production, the director and the artists involved. Furthermore, we offer moderated audience talks after selected performances, where you can further discuss the topics of the show and gain insights into the world of the artists on stage. The audience talks last approximately 40 minutes and are held in spoken German and English.

Audio Description

Audio description (AD) is the audible description of visual impressions for a blind/visually impaired audience. Movements, gestures, facial expressions, stage design, costumes and props are described by speakers in concise and precise words. The aim is to preserve the production as a work of art and to create a holistic impression of what is happening on stage. We regularly offer performances accompanied by a live audio description (in German) and a tactile guidance. All information about the booking process can be found here.

Zeit für Zirkus
(Time for Circus)

Over one weekend in November, the La Nuit du Cirque festival celebrates contemporary circus and presents over 220 performances in approximately 50 countries. In Germany, the festival takes place under the name Zeit für Zirkus (time for circus) and presents a diverse programme of performances, workshops and accompanying formats at various venues. Zeit für Zirkus aims to give contemporary circus a nationwide platform and invite audiences to experience, celebrate and rediscover circus in its visual language.

Contemporary circus combines exciting physical artistry with impactful social commentary. Its accessibility allows it to bring complex topics into the mainstream public discourse. As part of this year’s festival edition, the discussion program ZEIT ZUM REDEN (engl. Time to Talk) will explore diverse topics and promote dialogue, encounters and exchange in collaboration with seven venues across Germany. We are excited to be a part of it.

In 2026, Zeit für Zirkus will take place from 13 to 15 November.

Play

With our Play guest performance series, we are inviting you on a journey through the diverse world of circus for the third time in a row: from January 22 to February 22, 2026, nine companies will bring their own, unique perspectives on contemporary circus to our stage. To encourage greater participation, the performances will be accompanied by a comprehensive supporting program, including Q&As with the artists, panel discussions, and accessibility formats.
