Dance-circus mini-show
Folk Circus is a comedic dance-circus mini-show in which Bulgarian folk dances and music meet breakdancing and contemporary circus art. The story follows two foreigners who stumble upon a folk dance ensemble for the first time and, while trying to learn how to dance the hora, find themselves in a series of funny and absurd situations.
The project is a joint production of the Mini Art Foundation, choreographer Velizar Vutov, and director Dario Tabakov, with the participation of the Raina Knyaginya ensemble, Sofia City Breakers and clown Titania Chaos.
Folk Circus bridges the gap between tradition and contemporary art, aimed at children, families, and lovers of folklore, dance, and the circus.
Free admission for children, schoolchildren, students, teachers, and people with disabilities.
With financial support from the Sofia Municipality, the “Culture 2026” program, and the National Culture Fund’s “Creation 2024” program.
