Overview

The 11th Berlin Circus Festival took place from July 30 to August 10, 2025, on Tempelhofer Feld. Twelve days of programming in three tents and on the open-air stage, featuring productions from France, Belgium, Scandinavia, and Germany. The accompanying program included an annually changing art exhibition, live music, audience discussions, and a wide range of catering options. The festival once again confirmed its reputation as the most important platform for contemporary circus in the German-speaking world.

The 11th edition in 2025 followed the established format: twelve days of festival, three tents plus an open-air stage, international program of contemporary circus. Highlights from previous years included large-scale collective productions with political undertones, intimate solo performances, and dance-acrobatics hybrids. The festival is a key event in the European circus calendar and has shaped Berlin's summer stage since 2015.
