Professionals at MAD can take part in additional programming. Thursday April 10 we'll be hosting SAFE Meetings in cooperation with Circuscentrum, where we gather with the three groups involved with technical, physical and psychosocial safety in the circus world. Simply send an email to Rinus Samyn at Circuscentrum to join in.

You can also join our MAD Circus Talks on the theme of creation on Friday April 11. We will have conversations with several creators, including companies that will premiere at MAD 2025, about how ideas for a circus performance come to life and how many of them fall by the wayside on the road to the stage. The discussions will be led by artist, juggler, director, coach, and furniture maker Bram Dobbelaere.

As a professional you are also entitled to a sector discount when you would want to come see any of the shows at MAD Festival 2025. Additionally you can enjoy our vegetarian catering backstage.
