A very extensive and high-level festival, Zomer van Antwerpen stretches to performance, music and film, though it has a particular interest in circus and in large-scale street arts (it's had a long-running association with the French company La Machine).
In 2011 they have the exquisite and difficult to catch Swiss production InStallation, a tented production where the cast are joined by four ethereal white horses; Cie Akoreacro's crowd-pleasing but slightly flabby Pfffffff; chic Australian company Circa's latest production, Wunderkammer; and Escarlata Circus' Devoris Causa, a show about circles and cycles, visual and conceptual.
