The international circus festival in Enschede will take place for the seventh time from 21 to 29 December. Artists from all over the world are drawn to the festival producing a colourful mix of the best acts. The festival is organised along the lines of those of Monte Carlo, Paris and Stockholm: there is a professional jury to judge the acts, and a jury drawn from the audience.

One special act is that by David and Dana: transformation. The duo leaves in other clothes than the ones they came in. Even played in slow motion on video it is impossible to see how they do that. An exotic-animal act is also part of the show, as well as a trapeze act.

Last year thirty-thousand people visited the circus. Why? The organiser: 'Everything is live, and you smell the popcorn, see the animals, sample the atmosphere.' Moreover Christmas is the right time, he feels. 'People want to go out.'
