The Circumova Festival organized by the Cornouaille Theatre takes place from January 10 to February 2, 2023.

This year, the 12e Circumova offers 16 shows over 4 weeks (full program) a new circus especially marked by a very transversal approach to the arts. More than ever, the circus has become a total art, bringing in its wake other arts such as dance, music and singing.

Seven communes of Cornouaille and Pointe Bretonne are associated to share this edition, under a capital, in the hall and in the public space.
