Description:
On 25, 26 and 27 July 2025, the gates of the Grootseminarie in Bruges will swing open for Cirque Plus. Artists from home and abroad will take over the most hospitable garden in Bruges for three days to show the best of themselves to a large and diverse audience. Cirque Plus is primarily a festival for open-air circus and also wants to be a springboard for new circus talent. With Cirque Numerique we offer new or recent, short, finished numbers a full-fledged place within the festival programme.
For whom?
Artists who have completed their training at a circus college, have trained in a circus studio or are working as self-taught artists.
All circus arts are welcome: acrobatics, balancing acts, juggling, clowning, magic, circus theatre, etc. Aerial acrobatics are only possible if you bring your own porch or Chinese mast.
Cirque Plus consciously chooses open-air presentations for a large audience.
This call is for new or recent, short (max. 15 min.), finished “numbers”, solos or not. There is no point in sending us your full performance. We are only looking for short acts.
What does Cirque Plus offer?
A daily allowance of €300 per artist and a flat-rate transport allowance of maximum €50 for travel within Belgium or maximum €100 for travel abroad. Catering is provided. If really necessary, an overnight stay can be provided.
A professional environment.
A playing area (8 x 8 m) and a sound system.
The act must be able to be performed outdoors and during the day. Lighting is not provided. To the extent possible, we can take specific technical questions into account.
The artist is responsible for all other materials (decor, props, costumes/aerial acts provide own materials, etc.) required to perform the act.
The performances will be included in the festival programme and presented at their own Cirque Numerique performance location, between or during the other performances at the festival.
Each selected act will play twice on Saturday 26th July. Depending on the number of selected artists, this may be deviated from.
A (professional) jury will judge the acts during the festival. The winner may perform the following year as the opener of Uitwijken circus in the various sub-municipalities of Bruges (July 2026 – www.uitwijken.be )
We have an enthusiastic and broad audience and offer networking opportunities with artists and professionals from the circus sector.
