Go back Run Away with the Circus. Riga’s Smallest Circus
Six young artists meet in the circus arena to explore why running away with the circus remains so tempting even today. By looking back at the history of circus and sharing their personal experiences, they reflect on what draws people to the circus world. Circus is not just about tricks and laughter — it is a place to learn how to be together, to trust others, and to believe in yourself. More than that, it is a space where everyone can become part of a larger story, even if they feel different. The performance Run Away with the Circus takes audiences into the colourful world of the circus while also revealing its unseen side, where courage and persistence are present at every step.
