LATIBUL CIRCUS GARDEN 2026

Mechanische Musik

Music, movement and clever machines come together in the new show by Kira & Anders. They have spent over two years working on an exciting mechanical installation that plays the leading role in their story about solidarity and dreams. Get ready for a jangly, cheerful concert with these two funny explorers!

Unnescesary Violence

‘Unnecessary Violence’ invites the audience into an absurd world between conflict and humour: playful fights, juggling and a subtle hint of violence. This show with street circus flair tells the story of a friendship between two artists. What happens when children (and adults) test the limits of their environment? This is how a game of rivalry begins: who can go higher and further? How can I outdo my buddy? Who will trump whom? Inspired by slapstick icons such as Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, the result is a colourful mix of juggling, clowning and a pinch of contemporary dance. Look forward to around half an hour of fast-paced fun for the whole family.

Handle with care

"Handle with care” is a playful performance with a street theater flair, set in the middle of a universe of cardboard boxes and paper. It is about our fragility, how much we need each other and are there for each other in the world. In short, it is about what makes us human.

Visibility and invisibility. Catalan performer Diana Gadish gives simple cardboard boxes lives of their own. As an anti-heroine, she changes the mood from one moment to the next and wins hearts with her subtle humor. She seems to casually transform space and atmosphere, which are barely recognizable by the end. We have become part of her plan.

With a mixture of dance, gesture theater and clowning, Diana Gadish blurs the classic roles of audience and artist while gently making us co-protagonists in her piece. In the end, there is an open invitation...

Tu sens la terre bouger? A Celebration

This performance by Cirque Barbette creates a balancing sculpture in front of our eyes, little by little transforming into a complex human mobile. At its center is a seesaw. A dance of small balancing movements becomes the starting point for this show. But the performers want more. For their increasingly complex game of Mikado, they need the counterweight of the audience.

Between floating beams, two musicians and four circus artists from Cirque Babette take us on a journey through intimate moments, paradoxical movement patterns and a finely calibrated play with balance.

The Belgian company writes a contemporary homage to Alexander Calder's mobiles that invites audience participation. Only through us does this piece remain in balance, and mutual trust becomes a safety net.

“CIRCLES” is a contemporary circus act that explores the dialogue between the aerial hoop and the Cyr wheel.
At its heart lies the creation of visual spaces through movement, observation and intervention.
The body, aerial hoop and Cyr wheel are in a reciprocal relationship and continuously shape one another through movement.
This interplay gives rise to constantly shifting visual spaces in which perception and discovery merge.
The result is a continuous process in which image, body and space are constantly being reshaped.

“Passing By” is a contemporary 7-minute circus piece by and starring Henrike Lechler. It is performed on the flying pole and was created in 2024.

“Passing By” is a collage of past moments linked together in a single moment. It is a piece full of nostalgia and memories. A body and an object in dialogue and conversation with one another. The story of a woman told through movement and circus techniques. “Passing By” is a collage of past moments linked together in a single moment. A body and an object in dialogue and conversation with one another.

Finale Latibul Circus Garden: ‘1000 Faces – How does circus feel like?’

For the finale of Latibul Circus Garden, the Overhead Project company, which initiated the festival, together with Latibul, invites families and young audiences to an interactive experience. We start with a simple question: How many people does it take to carry a body?

The audience is invited to become part of the experience themselves – to let go, to get involved, to relinquish control and, at the same time, to take on responsibility. Playful situations create moments of trust, cooperation and surprising encounters that allow you to experience for yourself what circus can feel like.
