The Zirkusquartier is Zurich's place for contemporary circus, theater and dance...and the home of Zirkus Chnopf. It is a place for artists, young and old, professionals and amateurs.
Since the occupation of the current interim use in 2014, the offer of events, workshops and weekly courses has developed strongly. The highlight is the ZirQus Festival in August, the annual showcase of the contemporary Swiss circus scene. Come by, we are looking forward to seeing you!
The auditorium is wheelchair accessible. The box office and bar are unfortunately on the 1st floor. The Circus Quarter does not have an elevator.
