The 2nd FOCASA Circus Arts Festival
The second edition of the FOCASA Circus Arts Festival lands in Kaohsiung, where circus meets the harbor and a “Seafarer’s Village”—imagined yet real, ever-moving yet tangible—quietly comes ashore.
Inspired by Kaohsiung’s port culture, Seafarer’s Village takes shape around three distinctive tent-ships: the L Tent, The Legend; the M Tent, The Adventure; and the S Tent, The Surprise.
Together, they form a temporary “Circus Port,” charting three main routes through entertainment, creativity, and circus classics. Audiences are invited to see through the eyes of a seafarer and rediscover the many possibilities that emerge when circus enters into dialogue with the city.
