Donation-Based Admission
Art and culture cost money. As such, the Circus of Knowledge is externally funded by sponsors and other supporters, so-called "third-party funds", provided by the university, and event revenue.
We want everyone to enjoy performances at the Circus of Knowledge! To help those who are financially less fortunate than others attend our performances, we do not have set admission fees, but rather we request donations on voluntary basis. We ask those who are financially able to voluntarily donate more (pay what you can).
Reservations
As we can only accommodate a certain number of guests for each performance, we kindly ask that you make a reservation in advance to attend. Please see the performance schedule and click to make a reservation for the performance you are interested in attending.
Program
Whether you are young, older, rich, poor, bored, alone, or simply interested in art, learning new things, or a school class, the Circus program has something for everyone! Learn more about our productions and projects for the upcoming season.
How the Circus of Knowledge Came About
Since 2022, the "Circus of Knowledge" has served as a testament to the Johannes Kepler University Linz's conviction to actively support sustainably at the crossroads of art, science, academia, and education. The JKU also partners with theaters, circus operators, and other performers and seeks to collaborate with the Upper Austrian Educational Authority. The goal is to attract people from all over Upper Austria.
