About
Young circus artists from across Europe compete under a big top in central Wiesbaden, judged by an international jury on skill, creativity and stage presence. Expect aerial acts high above the ring, juggling, handstands and balance work. This edition's theme, "Out of the Bubble", mixes classic and modern circus with breakdance, graffiti and rap, built with artists from the region. It suits kids who like big, fast, loud shows.
