It has been a busy year for Recirquel, the first Hungarian contemporary circus company. Making their debut in 2013, Bence Vági’s troupe pulled off a season of sell-out shows and a successful Russian tour. A favourite with the audience of the Palace of Arts, they are now preparing a new production for the Budapest Spring Festival. The Naked Clown invites viewers to a ball, where the scenes centre around the same question: how many layers and masks need to be removed before one’s sheer nature is revealed?
