Koraĵo and Pepe Event
Together with the circus and artists’ collective PEPE, we invite you to a little parallel world somewhere between circus, electronic music, light art and lovingly homemade madness. And because you don’t have to wait until sunset for a proper adventure, things kick off at midday 🌞 Outside in the amphitheatre, a playground for young and old – and everyone in between – is being conjured up from scratch. There’s action here for the whole family! There’ll be juggling, balancing, painting, glitter, wonder and experimentation. Giant soap bubbles will float across the grounds, clowns will be up to their usual antics, and anyone who’s ever wanted to get a taste of the circus will have the chance to do so. 🎪 For the more flexible among you, there’s also a yoga workshop. To round it all off, there’ll be electronic sounds ranging from downtempo to danceable beats, a bar for those who’ve worked up a thirst, and cosy corners to catch your breath. And right in the middle of it all is the Pepe Dome – our box of wonders, which comes to life with lights and a dash of Koraĵo décor. ✨🛸 We’ll see where the circus ends and the dance floor begins. Perhaps we’ll find out together with you! As always: look out for one another, respect your own boundaries and those of others. Our Awareness Team will be there for you. 💛 Entry is free! Anyone who’d like to support us and the project is welcome to pop something into the donation pot. 💫 We’ll be revealing bit by bit exactly what we’ve got in store for you, both musically and artistically. We’re already absolutely hyped and can’t wait any longer. Come curious.
Open Stage
At our Open Stage, the stage belongs to various artists and their current work. The programme features fully-fledged acts, new routines, excerpts from works in progress and experiments that may be performed in front of an audience for the very first time. That is precisely what makes the evening so special: you never quite know in advance what’s going to happen. Different disciplines, styles and personalities come together – spontaneously, surprisingly and with no great distance between the stage and the audience. The Open Stage is a meeting place for the circus community and for anyone curious about contemporary circus. Not a run-of-the-mill evening, but a snapshot of what’s currently inspiring the performers and what they’re working on. Come along, discover new talent and experience an evening that won’t be repeated.
‘Samhain Circus’ freak show
The Pepe Dome is transformed into a circus ring that blends elements of a circus, a freak show and a dark funfair atmosphere. Extraordinary acrobatics meet bizarre characters, surprising visuals and moments where you’re not always immediately sure whether to be amazed, laugh or perhaps turn away. ‘Samhain Circus’ plays on the unique atmosphere of Halloween: mysterious, wild and with a touch of humour. This isn’t a traditional horror show, but an unusual circus afternoon full of movement, excitement and surprises. What exactly can you expect? We’re not giving that away just yet. Suffice to say: on this day, some things at the Dome are not quite what they seem at first glance. Come along and experience Halloween under the dome.
