'Circus Tree' Offers Free Performances
The pathway in Kadriorg Park, which leads from the Swan Lake pond to the concert venue through the Rose Garden, will be transformed into a Circus Alley during the festival. Each night one hour before the show young circus artists will perform there.
On Friday, August 5, at 22.00 after the festival’s opening act 'The Time Between' (Sebastiano Toma Company), the audience gets a chance to enjoy the fire show 'The Magic Garden' by the fire group Flameous.
During the weekend, on August 6 and 7 at 14.00, a workshop called the Circus Garden will begin on the Circus Alley where each person gets to plant a circus seed. Gardeners Piip and Tuut along with their helpers will guide people to the picnic place. There will also be a monocycles’ rally and the drum orchestras Dynamo (Belgium) and TRUMM-IT (Estonia) will perform.
