Nienke is a circus artist from the Netherlands. Even though she specialises in aerial rope she doesn’t like the texture of it, touching it gives her goosebumps.

Thaïs is a floor acrobat from France. She loves to have a busy life, she is never short of things to do to fill her calendar!

Swantje is a German circus artist combining static trapeze and club juggling. Her favorite things? Sunflowers, the mountains, her dog Frida, and cottage cheese on pretty much everything - the more, the better!

Marcelin Manceau – Floor Acrobatics
Lise Beaumard – Handstands & Contortion
Luna Baier – Tightwiremanceau
Marcelin is a floor acrobat from France. When he hugs people, he always gives a sweet and strong squeeze!

Lise is a handbalancer and contortionist from France. She discovered herself a passion for crochet, and decided to crochet the top of her costume!mariee
You’ll for sure notice when Luna trains in the building because you can hear her music playing already from far while she dances to it on the wire. And sometimes she cannot help but share a loud happy-scream when she gets too exited!

☰ GROUP SHOW C3 ☰ PINK HORIZONS - between collapse and care
We are excited to present to you: PINK HORIZONS, the group production of the 3rd year bachelor students, performing in Rotterdam at Circusstad Festival 2026!
-——
Pink Horizons is a contemporary circus creation reflecting on Bauhaus as both a historical movement and a living practice. The piece examines how creation emerges from crisis, while colours and forms act as statements rather than decorations. Through collective structures and moments of playful disruption, the piece traces cycles of destruction and care. It asks not what the future will be - but how we choose to shape it.

Make sure to not miss this once-in-a-lifetime event!

📅 Sat 2.5.2026 ⏰17:00h
📅 Sun 3.5.2026⏰17:00h - performance is followed by aftertalk
📍 Codarts Circus Arts/ Fenix 1 – Dolf Henkesplein 15, Rotterdam Katendrecht
