Ragbag Chapter 2 returns as an unfiltered celebration of theatrical diversity. Bringing together groundbreaking artists from France, Sweden, Denmark, Netherland, Italy, Germany, Spain, Catalonia, India, South Korea and Poland this edition transforms disparate traditions into a vivid collective dialogue. Expect visceral storytelling, poetic encounters, and daring creative encounters.
In an unprecedented alignment with Ragbag 2027, the fifth iteration of Circus and its Others (CaiO) marks a historic move into Asia.
Circus and its Others is international, cross-disciplinary research project exploring how contemporary circus artists relate to concepts of difference. The current edition brings together scholars, artists, and community, under the theme, “Embracing flows and challenging genealogies: Ruptures, remains, and resurrections in circus studies and practice”.
Building on past successes in North and South America and Europe, this gathering explores circus as a continuously expanding network — entangled with global, local, and indigenous cultural practices, and moving beyond traditional categories into a “pluriversal” future.
Ragbag is a dynamic six-day celebration that brings together a diverse array of performance art, craft, food, and ideas. This innovative festival is designed to inspire, educate and entertain.
