Ladies and Gentleman! A marvelous and brand new venue is enriching the colorful
\nprograms of Sziget Festival this year. The Cirque du Sziget will host breath-taking \u201cnewcircus\u201d productions and also some impressive shows of young Hungarian acrobats, put together exclusively for the event. Because Sziget is so much more than just a music festival!<\/p>\n
Among the rich programs of Sziget Festival, this year a brand new and very spectacular venue is
\nborn. Fruzsina Sz\u00e9p, Program Director of Sziget, said: \u201cThe audience of Sziget could enjoy many
\ncircus productions in the previous years. Because of the huge success we decided to dedicate an
\nown location for this popular art form. We would like to have everything that is circus every day at
\none location.\u201d<\/p>\n
The idea was born last year, at the 20th Sziget, where a group of young Hungarian acrobats at the
\nMagic Mirror tent have formed the production called Recirquel, truly amazing the audience.
\nThe Cirque du Sziget is using the visuals and atmosphere of a travelling circus from the 1890s and
\nthe performances will showcase programs from the contemporary circus genre, originally known
\nas nouveau cirque, exclusively made for Sziget.<\/p>\n
There will be interactive circus programs in the afternoons, where acrobats and stunt-oriented artists
\nand the audience can perform together. One can try out some circus instruments, while opening up
\nour eyes to brilliant productions. The crowd can see, in the late-afternoons, how the young
\ngraduating acrobats touch the sky with their explosive energy, while questioning physical boundaries.
\nThey will be accompanied by young singers and DJs, creating an unbelievable adventure together. In
\nthe evenings Recirquel will be seen once again. They are coming with a production spiced up with
\nmagic and theatre by breath-taking acrobats.<\/p>\n
Days will end with the Swing & Circus at the new location, performing swing, electro-swing, dance
\nand circus all together. While dancing, we should not be surprised if a half-naked trapeze artist flies
\nabove us\u2026<\/p>\n
