These entrepreneurial young artists are out to prove that a career in circus arts can be viable in Singapore.

Cirque du Singapour

“Jack of all trades, master of none.” Unlike this phrase their company name is inspired by, Circus of Altrades aspires to push the boundaries of what the circus industry could look like for Singapore in the years to come while challenging the idea that it cannot become well known for circus arts.

The relatively small arts scene means that something as niche as circus arts is often sidelined, especially in terms of public appreciation. However, this troupe believes that with a new generation of open-minded, daring players, the circus arts can blossom into a recognised trade in Singapore and the region.
