"Munich Park Transforms into Circus Stage": Affecting Our City - Detailed Plans beyond Shows
Carnival Capers in Munich's Ostpark: Neighborhood Embraces Summer of Circus Fun
Say hello to a thrilling Brighton Rock summer in the heart of Munich as the Ostpark transforms into a circus hub! The Cultural Affairs Committee of the city council made the announcement on the 5th of June. This transformation is enabled by the Geodome, a versatile, inflatable structure owned by the city's cultural department.
The Greens/Rosa List faction, who broke the news, are excited about this development, citing the struggle the contemporary circus scene has faced since the closure of the Sugar Mountain venue in Obersendling. Top-tier artists from across the country will have a new training ground and stage to showcase their skills.
For the residents of the neighborhood, this means an abundance of opportunities to participate and enjoy circus arts. Workshops and courses will allow people of all ages and skill levels to learn and experiment with various circus disciplines. Weekends will feature showed-stopping performances, with a mix of free and paid options to cater to everyone. As Green councilor David Suess put it, "The Ostpark is set for a vibrant cultural summer filled with dance and circus arts!"
The Munich Circus Arts GbR, which already rents the Geodome, will manage the project. With additional funding from federal and state governments, the city's Cultural Department will finance the setup and take-down of the dome. An added benefit for the city is that the Geodome, which is currently in storage with an uncertain condition, will need to be inspected and set up anyway for continued use as a city facility. By housing the circus community within the Geodome, the city can expedite this process and bring culture to life while the dome is being inspected.
So, folks, grab your tickets and get ready for a spin under the big top! Prepare to be amazed as Munich's Ostpark comes alive with the sights, sounds, and thrills of circus extravaganzas this summer!
