The Seoul Circus Festival is now accepting submissions for international programs to be featured in the 2025 festival! First launched in 2018 under the name Circus Cabaret, the Seoul Circus Festival was the first of its kind in South Korea. Over the years, it has grown into the largest circus festival in the country, held every spring for 2–3 days in one of Seoul’s major outdoor spaces. For 2025, we are excited to open an international open call for the first time, aiming to introduce diverse circus works from around the globe to audiences in South Korea. We look forward to receiving submissions of circus performances that align with the festival's vision. All interested companies and artists are welcome to apply.
