OUR STORY
The company was founded in 2018 with the creation of IDIOM. This show explored our growing relationship with AI and employed 22 artists, raised €50,000 and captivated 2500 spectators in Germany and the UK.
​​
In 2020, the Circus For Sustainability project was launched with the show YOU, which collaborated with environmental activist foundations and German political parties to make information about the climate crisis more engaging.
In 2022, the company set its focus on cultural recovery after the pandemic with the creation of the family outdoor show, NOW DEPARTING. The show was developed in full public view in Berlin Tempelhof Park and went on to entertain 6000 audience members, all over Germany and Belgium.
In 2025 the company continues to tour all three of these shows internationally while also creating specially designed shows for private events and public conferences.
