About "The Circus Village" Circus Center, Entoto Park
The Circus Center, Entoto Park will be the first step towards our big vision for Circus in Ethiopia. The center will provide a regular program of circus performances featuring young circus artists from the training program. The performances will bring circus together with local culture in a celebration of Ethiopian spirit. The center will take a multi-arts approach. It will conduct performance and workshop programmes in traditional costumes and dance, weaving and other cultural activities. Local multi-arts festivals will be a regular part of the programming. These celebrations of local culture will contribute to the potential for the Circus Center to attract international visitors. The center will also have a focus on international cultural exchange, through the invitation of trainers and creators from throughout the world. In the longer term, the Circus Center will also allow for the invitation of international shows to Ethiopia to perform. This will inspire many young people, and build local audiences with a mix of local and international programming.
