Welcome to
CARNIVALE ROYALE
CARNIVALE ROYALE
During the 19th century carnivals were roaming around the globe showcasing rarities, unusualities and peculiarities.
While being a collection of outcasts and misfits to society they worked as a family, helped and supported each other and created a place where they were the stars instead of the laughing stock.
A queer cabaret
For all to enjoy
celebrating diversity and individuality whilst showcasing artists from around the world.
A sensual night
full of surprises
Guided by Hayden, step into a world where everyone is celebrated for who they are and for what they want to be.
Be who you want to be, wear what you want to wear, love who you want to love.
Carnivale Royale covers a wide range of disciplines and styles, ensuring there’s something for everyone to enjoy and explore.
We create a safe and supportive space in which we can grow and shine
Love, diversity and unity
Carnivale Royale is an homage to the celebration of being yourself. This cabaret is a queer safe space for both artist and audience and invites everyone to join.
Embracing and celebrating differences together
Carnivale Royale is the 5th production by House of Circus
“beside creating a high level cabaret we also wanted to create a queer safe space in the circus”.
A place where artists can express themselves in their own unique ways and for the audience to feel comfortable doing exactly the same thing.
Enter our world, full of surprises and electricity
Carnivale Royale is a statement to the world, it screams that the outcasts of modern society are alive and well, that they are thriving and are key to the diversity and beauty of this world.
We connect with the local queer/art/circus community
This unique “liquid cabaret” format combines a core show that maintains high standards of quality and inclusivity, welcoming opportunities to engage with local queer, art, and circus communities. This approach keeps each performance fresh and relevant while building strong connections with local talents.

A truly unique combination of drag and contemporary circus, unrivalled on the continent in terms of both form and execution
SIEGESSÄULE
Cabaret of the highest artistic level and, at the same time, a conscious, queer safe space within the circus
