Moments of wonder, dreaming, and reflection, between thrills and poetry - circus has many faces. At Circus Sessions, we showcase them all.

Originating as a melting pot of Berlin's artistic scene, we're bringing the "Circus Sessions" show format to North Rhine-Westphalia for the first time – into the tent of the "Kultursommer im Revier". In the tent palace at Revierpark Nienhausen in Gelsenkirchen, we're presenting a top-class lineup of local and international top acts.

​

The parkour crew Flyguys, known for their energetic jumps and stunts from the Urbanatix shows in Essen, will be joining us. The local heroes from the Ruhr area will debut their own brand-new show, bringing urban sports to the circus ring.

​

The Scenic Circus ensemble will present excerpts from their new show "Diaries in Motion." Four artists from various European circus schools (Berlin, Montpellier, Kyiv) will showcase their skills and break down the boundaries between acrobatics and physical theater.

​

The acrobatic duo "Avant Ta Peau" is well known from the Gelsenkirchen Christmas Circus. With their love story high up under the big top and a thrilling hula hoop routine, they round out the Circus Sessions program at the Revier.
