For nearly fifty years, the Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain (World Festival of the Circus of Tomorrow) has been one of the most prestigious international events in contemporary circus. For its 46th edition, it returns to the Cirque Phénix in Paris from January 21 to 24, 2027, to showcase the best young circus artists from around the world. A true creative laboratory and springboard to major international companies, this festival is renowned for revealing the talents who will shape the circus of tomorrow.
Founded in 1977, the Festival has become an essential event for both professionals and enthusiasts. Each year, a particularly demanding selection brings together emerging artists representing all disciplines of circus arts: juggling, acrobatics, hand-to-hand, trapeze, tightrope, Cyr wheel, balancing acts, aerial disciplines, contortion, Chinese pole, aerial straps, and many more. All present original creations before an international jury composed of renowned figures from the circus world.
The 2027 edition is organized around three shows spread over four days. Shows A and B offer two completely different programs, allowing the public to discover all the selected acts. The festival concludes with the highly anticipated Winners' Show, which brings together the artists awarded prizes by the jury at the end of the competition.
