At various locations throughout the festival grounds, intimate performances alternated with spectacular productions. The cozy bar and food stands once again formed the beating heart of our festival: a place where people gathered to chat, grab a bite or a drink, and fully enjoy the unique festival atmosphere.<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row inverted-device-order row-internal row-container\"><div class=\"row col-no-gutter row-child\"><div class=\"wpb_row row-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left align_left_tablet column_child col-lg-12 tekst_header_nieuwsdetail_kolom single-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light shift_x_neg_half\" ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell no-block-padding\" ><div class=\"uncont\" style=\" max-width:60%;\" ><div class=\"empty-space empty-single\" ><span class=\"empty-space-inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap broodtekst_overons\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text top-t-bottom animate_when_almost_visible\" ><div class=\"font-501705 fontsize-158953 fontheight-123973 font-weight-500 text-color-214837-color\" ><span>One of the audience favorites was the tent show *Tout Va Hyper Bien* by Collectif Malun\u00e9s, which sold out three times. With a mix of humor and acrobatics, they took the audience on a heartwarming journey that culminated in a festive finale in which everyone became a participant.<\/p><\/span><span><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/span><span><p>Clara K\u00f6pf\u2019s *High (on) Fashion* was also a big hit! It was an acrobatic, top-notch performance, after which the artist invited the audience to swap their own clothes. In collaboration with Kringwinkel \u2019t rad and Studio Stik, we also organized workshops on circular fashion at the festival grounds. This gave visitors the chance to explore the performance\u2019s theme for themselves and made the focus on sustainability tangible even offstage.<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"uncode-single-media  text-left\"><div class=\"single-wrapper\" style=\"max-width: 100%;\"><div class=\"tmb tmb-light  tmb-media-first tmb-media-last tmb-content-overlay tmb-no-bg\"><div class=\"t-inside\"><div class=\"t-entry-visual\"><div class=\"t-entry-visual-tc\"><div class=\"uncode-single-media-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115342\" src=\"https:\/\/cirqueplus.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Cirque-Plus_240726_%C2%A9-Brugge-Plus_Hannah-De-Beir-01095-scaled.jpg\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1365\" alt=\"\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row inverted-device-order row-internal row-container\"><div class=\"row col-no-gutter row-child\"><div class=\"wpb_row row-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left align_left_tablet column_child col-lg-12 tekst_header_nieuwsdetail_kolom single-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light shift_x_neg_half\" ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell no-block-padding\" ><div class=\"uncont\" style=\" max-width:60%;\" ><div class=\"empty-space empty-single\" ><span class=\"empty-space-inner\"><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap broodtekst_overons\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text top-t-bottom animate_when_almost_visible\" ><div class=\"font-501705 fontsize-158953 fontheight-123973 font-weight-500 text-color-214837-color\" ><span>Even after the final performances, the festival grounds remained bustling. The free evening program on the terrace gave each day of the festival its own unique character. The Propere Fanfare set the tone right away on Friday, the circus ball brought visitors together on and off the dance floor on Saturday, and Kelly and Dolly closed out Sunday with an energetic and quirky show.<\/p><\/span><span><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/span><span><p>Accessibility also remains a key pillar of Cirque Plus. Thanks to its free programming and open festival format, visitors of all ages and backgrounds were able to experience contemporary circus.
