La Strada

Today we took a walk through Bremen again and all over sudden noticed that there was "La Strada" - the street circus festival taking place in Bremen. We couldn't see too much of all the performances because it was saturday afternoon, sunny and warm...it simply was too crowded. And since the artists don't perform on stages but on the streets, it is not too easy to see anything if you stand in 10th row or something. But what we saw was an impressive show of an english/dutch couple ("Fullstop Acrobatic Theatre") performing a mix of acrobatics and theatre play...Highly recommended...very impressive...very professional.

Since thirteen years the international street circus festival LA STRADA takes place in Bremen.
The festival offers a surprising and exciting programme and changes for one weekend the atmosphere in the town. Acrobats and artists, dancers and dreamers, clowns and comedians, mimes and performers, LA STRADA offers all aspects of street performing arts.
This summerly street circus spectacle has become one of the largest and most colourful festivals of its type and is well known all over the world.
During four days international artists present the freaky and flashy but also the quiet and beautiful aspects of street theatre for free. In the evenings, the LA STRADA artists perform highlights of their shows at the great Circus Gala. The visitors support the festival by buying the festival programme and the festival button.
