The Upper Secondary School for Circus

Train your body and your intellect at the same time during your three years at "Cirkusgymnasiet". The combination of theory, artistic work and training fit those who dream of a future as an international circus artist, and those who have other dreams but want to train and work artistically during their school years.

The Extraordinary History of Circus

  • The Extraordinary History of Circus is a vibrant family show. We explore our predecessors, from the edgy 90s to the 70s era of elephants and drumrolls, through the huge Barnum & Bailey shows to the birth of the modern circus in 18th-century Paris. 

    Where did it all begin? With the medeival jesters? Or Julius Caesar? Or even before? You can expect a wild odyssey about a world that has constantly pushed the boundaries of human ability – all for the sake of entertaining an audience.

    The Extraordinary History of Circus is co-produced by Cirkus Cirkör and Uppsala Stadsteater, with its world premiere at Uppsala Stadsteater's circus tent in Gottsunda on July 26, 2025.

Full house

    International artists, children and students train under the same roof in our our top-equipped circus hall.

  • Chill with Cirkör

    Three Sundays each term, we open up our training hall for those who want to try training circus, practice parkour, hang out in our chillout corners, watch others train, have coffee or just step by to say hello.

Cirkör Crashes the Conference

  • Book Circus Artists to Your Event

    Sophisticated somersaults or PG-18 pyrotechnics? We have been responsible for the entertainment at both large and small events since the 90s. We have both ready-made concepts ready to be booked, and the creativity to create something completely new.

  • Teambuilding in Northern Europe's Largest Circus Halls

    Do you need to laugh together? Spend a whole or half a day in the circus hall together with our experienced circus educators. You can expect to leave the workshop with new insights, fun memories – and maybe a new party trick up your sleeve.

Social Circus

  • At Cirkör, as with circus companies worldwide, there's a strong tradition of using circus training to strengthen individuals and work for positive societal change. The term Social Circus describes circus as a social hub, a place for people to meet, an educational tool and a social actor.
