Circusplaneet

Circusplaneet vzw was founded in 1999 as an independent association as a continuation of the initiative of some young people in Ghent. They dreamed of a better world, a place under the sun, a Circus planet! With circus as their weapon, they worked on the growth of children and young people. With a small van they went out into the world to spread the circus virus. Everyone was allowed to participate, regardless of race, rank and position.

This educational and social-artistic commitment is the DNA of our working, the potting soil from which a beautiful tree has grown in the meantime. 

In 2015, we bought the church in the social housing district of Malem. A big step and a fascinating start of a new period. Our circus church is a symbol of our past and of our dreams: we humbly continue to work in a building, a residential area, an art form and a society with an enormous tradition and history. At the same time, we are building an ambitious future.

We show our skills in the middle of the piste. In the spotlight we smear ourselves with the dust from which things have come and will go back.
