Paris?
For 20 years, Théâtre Antony - near Paris - has ensured that in between all the construction frenzy, tent circus still has a place in the public space. Twenty years ago, Circus Ronaldo's tent first landed on the square. Théâtre Antony wants to celebrate this event with a soirée composé and asked Circus Ronaldo to put together an evening. Circus Ronaldo would also like to share this space with and give place to up-and-coming talent.
We want you! Would you or your company like to perform with Circus Ronaldo and numerous other artists at this unique venue near Paris? Are you available to play at the soirée composé in Paris on 9 December 2024? Circus Ronaldo is looking for two acts of max. 20 min (composé form in tent arrangement, rigging possible). Common thread throughout this soirée is: 'The empty space, the power of imagination'.
Ostend?
For over 25 years, Theater Aan Zee (TAZ) has provided space for performing arts in Ostend's unique venues, focusing on young emerging artists. Since its inception, De Grote Post has also been home to the circus and supports artists in their development with a strong residency programme.
We want you! In the summer of 2025, Circus Ronaldo, TAZ, De Grote Post and Circuscentrum will be joining forces to focus on young, emerging circus artists and companies. We are looking for various acts to perform in Circus Ronaldo's tent, on location (in situ) or in public (family programme Wonderwaai). Are you available from 30 July to 9 August 2025?
