Looking back on Circus City 2023

“I’d recommend it to anyone. Theatre that overcomes language and borders. Wherever and whoever you are, you will find awe, joy and curiosity here” Audience Feedback – Sawdust Symphony

It’s been one month since the end of Circus City the Outsider Edition! We are looking back through the lens of this gorgeous round-up video made in collaboration with exceptional up and coming film makers from Screenology creative college.

Thanks again to all the artists, venues, audiences and team that made this years festival. Our team are incredibly proud of the quality of this vibrant and ground-breaking international programme. We are going forward into winter and the next year of planning, lifted by the touching audience responses, conversations, ideas and learning shared and collaborations started. We can’t wait to do it all again ❤️
