The cirqu' festival in Aarau is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a variety of circus productions - from small and experimental forms to family pieces.

Extraordinary things happen in Aarau in June. Everywhere in the city: in the Alte Reithalle, in museums and tents. The cirqu' festival celebrates its tenth anniversary and invites twenty different circus productions to Aarau to mark the occasion.

In addition to well-traveled stage or tent pieces that have shaped contemporary circus internationally, cirqu' presents a variety of different aesthetics and content - from small or experimental forms to pieces for the whole family. From acrobatic human towers that rise up and melt back into themselves (Möbius), to magical flying juggling in a converted small truck (Ballroom), to a father lying in a bathtub listening to recordings of audience applause from performances long past and a son trying to fill in the footsteps (Sono io?). Or from the drama of gathering storm clouds and the visually stunning disintegration of the Acropolis (Maison Mère) to two clowns on a wobbly boat and their attempt not to lose their balance on the unstable ground (Surcouf).

These and many other unforgettable performances in the Alte Reithalle, the Stadtmuseum, the Forum Schlossplatz and the Theater Tuchlaube as well as other venues in Aarau's old town can be seen at the Festival cirqu'.
