International contemporary circus and street art festival CIRCUS TREE 2015

International contemporary circus and street art festival CIRCUS TREE 2015

Festival Circus Tree will take place in August 24-29 in Tallinna Kardioru Park, Kumu, and Nordea concert hall. The festival is directed towards adults and teenagers, but there are also events for children. The main performer of the festival is Race Horse Company. 

Talking about circus, people often think of a seal with a ball, a decorated elephant or a bear on a bicycle. They may think that circus is entertainment directed only towards children, but times have changed: Festival Circus Tree focuses on contemporary circus where animals aren’t used and where traditional roles and the structure of the show have been changed. It is also mainly meant for teenagers and adults. In addition to dancing, music and other skills, this form of art applies elements from circus (balance, acrobatics, juggling etc.), and also tries to explore and expand the boundaries of human performance.
