National Circus Poles (PNC)

  • Theater

The certification of the National Circus Centres (NPCs) in 2010 crowned ten years of proactive policy led by the Ministry of Culture to promote the structuring of this discipline and support its artistic development. The PNC participate in the renewal of artistic forms and aesthetics of the circus. They organize their activities mainly around support missions and support of creation and dissemination in the field of circus. They bring together 14 reference institutions in support of the creation, production and dissemination of circus arts. They constitute a structuring network in favor of the influence of the circus, as well as the renewal of its artistic forms and its aesthetics for the benefit of the widest public.
