"The little trick of getting three objects to dance around in your hands has always managed to keep a small sense of magic...It's one form of insanity we feel everyone has a right to experience."

  International Variety & Circus Festival (Dresden) April
Posted November 11, 2008


Note: Jörg Müller is People's Choice award winner, "Chime Guy," from the 1997 IJA! Posted generally as received.

You are warmly invited to visit or participate in the Startissimo 2009, the 7th International Variety and Circus Festival Dresden.

The Startissimo 2009, the 7th International Variety and Circus Festival Dresden, will be taking place in the city from 23rd - 26th April 2009. Dresden, the city on the River Elbe, enjoys global renown as a result of its history, the magnificent Semper Opera House, the reconstructed Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady), and the unique Sistine Madonna. However, Dresden is also known for its longstanding circus tradition, particularly as the birthplace of the legendary "Sarrasani Circus," which is still famous today.

We are inviting artistes from all over the world to participate in the competition held as part of the 7th International Variety and Circus Festival Dresden 2009, and to enter themselves for the category "Young Professionals" (18-27 years old). The closing date for entries is January 15, 2009, and the list of competitors will be made public by February 2, 2009.

In addition to an attractive festival program, the competition show, staged before an audience of 1,200 visitors, and competition prizes worth over €20,000 (prize money, guest performances etc.), the best competition entrants will appear in a major TV gala on April 26, 2009 in Dresden as part of a media partnership with MDR (Central German Broadcasting, MDR TV).
