On the MAD Generation stage, young creators can showcase their talents to the general public. Thanks to collaborations with circus schools across Europe, we present the most captivating young acrobats, eager to take the leap into the professional circuit. This performance will consist of several short acts, skillfully tied together by Ales & Hannah. With enthousiasm, musical feel and a touch of awkward humour, they will guide the audience for a night of impressive acts.

Janne & Ravinder - 'Princess Shavi'

Een hoepel zweeft speels tussen twee figuren: de ene leidt de weg, de andere duikt vol verwondering mee. Zo ontvouwt zich een groeiende dynamiek waarin vertrouwen ontstaat en een wereld van hoop diving zich stap voor stap onthult. 

5050 Collective - 'Philia'

With Philia, 5050collective presents a sparkling and acrobatic ode to friendship, where teeterboard, dance and live music come together in a joyful spectacle about connecting and jumping together.

Federica Pini Sandrelli - 'Reveries'

A playful solo high in the air, where between falling and flying, strength and vulnerability, the void comes to life — and you suddenly wonder: where does the wind hide when it's not blowing?

Luisina & Clara - 'La Mort d’un Cerf-Volant'

La Mort d’un Cerf-Volant is a compelling circus performance centred around the German Wheel, in which two women move together through recurring patterns of loss, struggle and resilience. With minimal words and a sharp playfulness, they show how to keep each other balanced when everything starts to tilt.

Cie Companouche

Two women dangle six metres above the ground on a single rope and take you on a moving journey about fear, trust and connection, with humour, absurdity and poetry.
