Around the world in one afternoon... Spinsane by Race Horse Company (Finland) Hold your breath as Finland's acclaimed Race Horse Company push circus to its limits with their spectacular Wheel of Death. Combining breathtaking acrobatics, fearless stunts and a brilliantly offbeat sense of humour, Spinsane is thrilling, hilarious and guaranteed to leave audiences wondering, "How did they do that?". Otempodiz by Ertza Konpainia (Spain & Mozambique) What if time wasn't something you chased, but something you simply lived? Through powerful contemporary dance, Otempodiz explores our relationship with time in a visually striking performance that is both thought-provoking and mesmerising. Beautiful, accessible and unlike anything you've probably seen before. The World Wanderer by Compagnie with Balls (Netherlands) Keep your eyes peeled for one of the festival's most magical sights. Perched on top of a giant globe, The World Wanderer invites children and adults alike on an imaginative journey around the world, encouraging everyone to dream, explore and discover together. Expect smiles, conversations and plenty of unforgettable photo opportunities. Senescence by Camiel Corneille (Netherlands) Part circus, part moving sculpture, Senescence is an extraordinary visual performance where a single artist performs inside a giant rotating steel structure. Powerful, intimate and captivating, it's a rare opportunity to experience contemporary circus in an entirely new way. Lilliput by Tombs Creatius (Spain) Step into a tiny world where little people create big adventures. Inspired by Gulliver's Travels, this enchanting walk-through installation invites families to explore a beautifully crafted miniature city bustling with life, humour and imagination. Perfect for curious minds of every age. From giant globes to gravity-defying circus, miniature worlds to contemporary dance, every performance offers something different. Wander through the festival, stay for one show or spend the whole day discovering something unexpected.
