Each event lasts from nine to twelve months in each city. Thousands of spectators come to him to watch the performances of acrobats, jugglers, tightrope walkers, sword swallows, clowns, musicians, trainers, magicians, masters of modern dance. They can also see the opera, the play “magic of light”, a circus parade, jumping on a trapeze, pantomime. There is everything here: from a space performance up to computer science, science and even circus physics. More than a thousand artists come from Switzerland and from around the world, showing no less ability and talent.

The main task of World Circus is to open a new path in creative art and urban planning. This event is, among other things, of great interest to the public who wants to learn more about contemporary art and new technologies. Its driving force is the irreversible development of visual thinking, which more and more captures the space of various fields of scientific knowledge, industry and film and video production, and also brings practical, industrial and cultural innovations for the development of communication. The income from the event is entirely transferred to charity.
