Abstract

Abstract The text reflects on the 12th Festival of New Circus and Contemporary Clown Klovnbuf through the prism of contemporary circus' character and its slippery position in contemporary performing arts practices. Following a short overview of developments that have helped shape today's context, the performance analysis focuses mainly on tendencies incorporating critical thinking and the exploration of original forms, means (the trained circus body) and conditions, thereby expanding perspectives in this field of art. It also addresses the issue of the position of contemporary circus in this local environment characterised by a small circle of people involved, challenging working conditions, vulnerable production and weak scientific discourse.
