A declaration of love<\/span>
\n(to the circus)<\/span><\/h1>\n

Circus is our greatest love. And we love to share that love with the rest of the world. Here is our declaration of love: 10 reasons why we love the circus in black and white. Hopefully a spark will ignite and you will feel as madly in love as we are.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Circus is for everyone<\/h2>\n

The inclusive nature of circus has always been its strength. Circus works like a magnet for extraordinary people and extraordinary stories. Here, pigeonholes and barriers are broken down to give imagination free rein. In this way, stories can be told that are accessible to everyone, in which everyone can identify, and in which you may discover how special people and their stories are.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”150″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1648489363446{margin-top: -35px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner el_class=”count-sticker second-sticker” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1648649028600{margin-right: -50px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1648493875595{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}” el_class=”tekstblok” el_id=”tekstblok”]<\/p>\n

Circus is dehydrating<\/h2>\n

Circus is angry. Circus is funny. Circus is heartbreaking. Circus is weird. Artists tell the most exciting, moving, funny and bizarre stories with their bodies. So it is not strange to lose some body fluids during a performance. This can be tears, sweat from the tension or because you are laughing out loud.

We all know that magic does not exist, but the circus can make us forget this for a moment.

Circus is an experience<\/h2>\n

Circus cannot be captured on a smartphone or transmitted through an app. Circus must be experienced. Preferably with open mouth and barred eyes. Circus is a packed gallery holding their breath. That half-second silence before landing. The applause is effusive. A collective laugh. And then the murmurs by the campfire and clinking of toasting glasses. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”150″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1648489363446{margin-top: -35px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner el_class=”count-sticker sixth-sticker” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1648649063098{margin-right: -50px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1693224207465{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}” el_class=”tekstblok” el_id=”tekstblok”]<\/p>\n

Circus is insane<\/h2>\n

Circus does not like the safe way. Every day circus performers brave risks to push their artistic and physical limits. There are few art forms where your two broken wrists can be traced back to your artistic aspirations. And it is precisely this madness that we find insane. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”1031″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1648491903843{border-radius: 15px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”150″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1648489363446{margin-top: -35px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”1039″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1648556320290{border-radius: 15px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”count-sticker seventh-sticker” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1648649069183{margin-left: -50px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1648493903413{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}” el_class=”tekstblok” el_id=”tekstblok”]<\/p>\n

7. Circus is incredibly exciting<\/h2>\n

The electrical energy. The unpredictability. The collective silence in a tent before the applause. Circus is incredibly exciting in many ways and we can’t get enough. If Circus was a blood-curdling movie, we would watch it every day.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”150″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1648489363446{margin-top: -35px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner el_class=”count-sticker eight-sticker” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1648649073003{margin-right: -50px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1693224223960{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}” el_class=”tekstblok” el_id=”tekstblok”]<\/p>\n

Circus is always in motion<\/h2>\n

Circus is: dance, water ballet, floor acrobatics, motorbike riding, bouncing, cycling, magic, kung fu, bananas, drag, clowning, break dancing, cabaret, and a thousand other things. Circus is so diverse that it is almost impossible to capture it in a single sentence. And that is exactly why we love circus. It is always in motion, changing form and content, making it unpredictable and never boring. We are already looking forward to the circus of 2045.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”1043″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1648556343308{border-radius: 15px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”150″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1648489363446{margin-top: -35px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”1047″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1648492010444{border-radius: 15px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”count-sticker ninth-sticker” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1648648937001{margin-left: -50px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1693224235293{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}” el_class=”tekstblok” el_id=”tekstblok”]<\/p>\n

Circus is a universal language<\/h2>\n

Most circus performers don’t need any words to tell their story. They do it with their bodies. The most complex stories are put into comprehensible form with their hands, feet and other limbs. All over the world, people are trying to keep balls high or climb on top of each other. As a result, circus is perhaps the most accessible art form.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”150″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1648489363446{margin-top: -35px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column_inner el_class=”count-sticker tenth-sticker” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1648648930165{margin-right: -50px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1648493921193{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}” el_class=”tekstblok” el_id=”tekstblok”]<\/p>\n

Circus is romantic<\/h2>\n

Circus artists personify the contemporary romance of the open road. We love the remarkable personalities and energy of circus performers. Circus performers are the embodiment of the romantic traveller’s life. They travel from place to place, living from day to day. They put on their own shows and (sometimes) build their own tents. We are proud to be one of these stopovers for these artistic nomads on their journey to new destinations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”1051″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1648556360724{border-radius: 15px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_empty_space height=”50″][vc_empty_space height=”100″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”1005″ css=”.vc_custom_1648561277814{border-radius: 25px !important;}” el_class=”headerafbeelding” el_id=”headerafbeelding”][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_empty_space height=”580″ css=”.vc_custom_1647188362731{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1647185052133{margin-top: -35px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”count-sticker first-sticker” width=”5\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1648649960365{background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-1 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1693224251945{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}” el_class=”tekstblok” el_id=”tekstblok”]<\/p>\n

Circus is an experience<\/h2>\n

Circus cannot be captured on a smartphone or transmitted through an app. Circus must be experienced. Preferably with open mouth and barred eyes. Circus is a packed gallery holding their breath. That half-second silence before landing. The applause is effusive. A collective laugh. And then the murmurs by the campfire and clinking of toasting glasses. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_empty_space height=”75″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”1031″ css=”.vc_custom_1648494183076{border-radius: 25px !important;}” el_class=”headerafbeelding” el_id=”headerafbeelding”][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_empty_space height=”580″ css=”.vc_custom_1647188362731{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1647185052133{margin-top: -35px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”count-sticker sixth-sticker” width=”5\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1648650595344{background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-1 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1693224301510{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}” el_class=”tekstblok” el_id=”tekstblok”]<\/p>\n

Circus is insane<\/h2>\n

Circus does not like the safe way. Every day circus performers brave risks to push their artistic and physical limits. There are few art forms where your two broken wrists can be traced back to your artistic aspirations. And it is precisely this madness that we find insane.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_empty_space height=”75″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”1039″ css=”.vc_custom_1648561324862{border-radius: 25px !important;}” el_class=”headerafbeelding” el_id=”headerafbeelding”][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_empty_space height=”580″ css=”.vc_custom_1647188362731{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1647185052133{margin-top: -35px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”count-sticker seventh-sticker” width=”5\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1648650625844{background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-1 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1648650634145{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}” el_class=”tekstblok” el_id=”tekstblok”]<\/p>\n

7. Circus is incredibly exciting<\/h2>\n

The electrical energy. The unpredictability. The collective silence in a tent before the applause. Circus is incredibly exciting in many ways and we can’t get enough. If Circus was a blood-curdling movie, we would watch it every day.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_empty_space height=”75″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”1043″ css=”.vc_custom_1648561380168{border-radius: 25px !important;}” el_class=”headerafbeelding” el_id=”headerafbeelding”][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_empty_space height=”580″ css=”.vc_custom_1647188362731{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1647185052133{margin-top: -35px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”count-sticker eight-sticker” width=”5\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1648650796182{background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-1 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1693224313396{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}” el_class=”tekstblok” el_id=”tekstblok”]<\/p>\n

Circus is always in motion<\/h2>\n

Circus is: dance, water ballet, floor acrobatics, motorbike riding, bouncing, cycling, magic, kung fu, bananas, drag, clowning, break dancing, cabaret, and a thousand other things. Circus is so diverse that it is almost impossible to capture it in a single sentence. And that is exactly why we love circus. It is always in motion, changing form and content, making it unpredictable and never boring. We are already looking forward to the circus of 2045.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_empty_space height=”75″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”1047″ css=”.vc_custom_1648494218670{border-radius: 25px !important;}” el_class=”headerafbeelding” el_id=”headerafbeelding”][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_empty_space height=”580″ css=”.vc_custom_1647188362731{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1647185052133{margin-top: -35px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”count-sticker ninth-sticker” width=”5\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1648650687612{background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-1 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1693224329569{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}” el_class=”tekstblok” el_id=”tekstblok”]<\/p>\n

Circus is a universal language<\/h2>\n

Most circus performers don’t need any words to tell their story. They do it with their bodies. The most complex stories are put into comprehensible form with their hands, feet and other limbs. All over the world, people are trying to keep balls high or climb on top of each other. As a result, circus is perhaps the most accessible art form.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_empty_space height=”75″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”1051″ css=”.vc_custom_1648561390614{border-radius: 25px !important;}” el_class=”headerafbeelding” el_id=”headerafbeelding”][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_empty_space height=”580″ css=”.vc_custom_1647188362731{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1647185052133{margin-top: -35px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=”count-sticker tenth-sticker” width=”5\/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1648650727996{background-color: #ffffff !important;border-radius: 25px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-lg vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-10 vc_col-sm-offset-1 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1648650736830{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 60px !important;}” el_class=”tekstblok” el_id=”tekstblok”]<\/p>\n

Circus is romantic<\/h2>\n

Circus artists personify the contemporary romance of the open road. We love the remarkable personalities and energy of circus performers. Circus performers are the embodiment of the romantic traveller’s life. They travel from place to place, living from day to day. They put on their own shows and (sometimes) build their own tents. We are proud to be one of these stopovers for these artistic nomads on their journey to new destinations.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_hidden-lg”][vc_empty_space height=”150″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
