In the Netherlands, a new generation of circus artists has emerged who not only have fantastic skills, but also create funny, moving and personal circus performances. The Circuscoalitie, consisting of various organisations committed to the development of contemporary circus, presents a new initiative. In Great Catch, circus makers are introduced to the audience in a surprising combination programme. The Circuscoalitie selected three short original productions of fresh circus talent: La Campistany, Liza van Brakel and TeaTime Company.

In contemporary circus, circus techniques are interwoven with drama, dance and urban arts to create a new form of performing arts. Instead of separate acts, the audience is surprised with performances. The technical skills and storytelling are combined in an idiosyncratic way, making the performances both profound and entertaining. It is a genre that is pre-eminently able to connect new audiences to art. - Circuscoalitie

The partners of the Circuscoalitie are Circusstad Festival Rotterdam, Festival Circolo, Korzo, MAAS theatre and dance and TENT in collaboration with the theatre agencies Buro Piket and HH Productions and the study programmes of Codarts Circus Arts and Fontys ACaPA. With this collaboration, they want to contribute to a good climate for the creation and presentation of circus in the Netherlands. The Circuscoalitie is committed to stimulating talent, venues and audiences for circus.
