To use the Ekaterinburg Circus as the main project venue was the initiative of the invited team of curators – Çağla Īlk, Misal Adnan Yıldız, Assaf Kimmel. Even before their arrival, they were struck by the architectural appearance of the building. After their first research visit, they were fascinated by the circus dynasties and the history of these families. Until October 24th all 3 000 square meters of the building will be available for the large-scale performance program. The audience will be able to see the installations located in the public spaces of the Circus over the course of the Biennial.
