A Real Circus is a workshop-style installation exhibition inspired by the creative concepts and forms of Alexander Calder. It features interactive experiences such as games, installation experiments, and theatrical stages, constructing a workshop-style interactive space.

The exhibition draws inspiration from the great innovator of 20th-century sculptural art, Alexander Calder. In 1926, Calder created the intricate and unique ‘Calder’s Circus,’ using materials like wire, leather, and fabric to reproduce a circus that could be carried in a suitcase. By manipulating the movement of various elements, he formed a groundbreaking performance, which also laid the foundation for his famous kinetic sculptures.

Open from June 7th to December 1st, with performance times and durations subject to change on site.
