LITHUANIA

I

n recent years Lithuania has seen a
new circus generation taking shape.
It is thanks to the Arts Printing House
and the Festival they have been organizing since 2006. The festival has
not only presented new and contemporary circus to the Lithuanian
public, but has organized a number
of workshops that have inspired
young artists to experiment in the
circus field. The festival is proud to
have already presented Lithuanian
creations. That is why Next Door Circus asked Arts Printing House to tell
us about the festival and Lithuanian
acrobat Konstantin Kosovec about
his way of doing circus.
New Circus Weekend is not the only
circus Festival held in Lithuania. For
several years there has been street
circus festival in the middle of July in
Klaipeda Stebuklų Šalis . This year
it took place in Palanga for the first
time. In 2013 there was a new circus
festival held by locals in Kaunas.
