Institut français, Circostrada, and Circusnext are proud to partner up with Territoires de Cirque and Ministry of Culture in the next Nuit du cirque (Circus night).

This event celebrates contemporary circus and is coordinated by the French network Territoires de cirque and will take place on November 17, 18, and 19.

Every weekend following November 11th, LaNuit du Cirque is organized in France and abroad. Its objectives are to introduce a wide audience to the diversity of creative circus shows, to circulate the works and to share the values of this popular and committed art.

Beyond the members of the Territoires de Cirque network, all distribution and production places, local authorities, circus schools, self-presenting companies, museums… are invited to join the Nuit du Cirque, throughout France and abroad.

This is an opportunity for all the Circus organisations in Ireland that might have planned events on these dates in Ireland (workshop, conference, show) so that they could be included in the Nuit du Cirque and give such events international visibility. IF YOU HOST OR DEVELOP A CIRCUS EVENT ON NOVEMBER 17-18 OR 19, YOU CAN SUBSCRIBE TO BE PART OF THE NUIT DU CIRQUE, AND BENEFIT FROM ITS GLOBAL COMMUNICATION. More info here
