Heya Circus Friends,

This post shares a little about the transport situation in Ireland at the moment. Hopefully this provides some clarity, and reassures you that it's still possible to make it to Dublin Circus Festival this weekend :)

Keep an eye on transport updates online -- the situation can change. In some cases you can plan around diversions.

Looking forward to seeing ye very soon

Presenting: Fire Gala Performer Aidan Ring

Aidan Ring will be presenting his act 'Enmaniguarse' at Dublin Circus Festival's 2026 Fire Gala Show

This piece is inspired by the many places that Aidan has gone with his performing, especially to Colombia where he has performed twice with Rogu. On the first of these trips, he came across the concept of Enmaniguarse in the Amazon Rainforest. This is the Spanish word for the experience of completely immersing yourself in the jungle, the wilderness, Nature. Your art form can take you anywhere, even into the deepest wilderness of your own soul, it's all possible!
