Welcome to the Open Stage! This is your chance to share your talent and skills with fellow jugglers, acrobats, and enthusiasts. Whether you have a cool trick, a captivating routine, or just want to perform something on the spot, this is the perfect platform for you.

The Open Stage is designed to be an open performance area, much like a street performance, where you can step up and show what you've got. No need to sign up in advance – simply seize the moment and dazzle the audience with your skills. It's all about celebrating the joy of juggling and acrobatics and the creativity of our community.

We also have a music box available, so you can play your music while you perform 🎶. This is a self-organized event without a host, where participants are encouraged to organize themselves and shape the proceedings.

Come along, take the stage, and let's create an unforgettable experience together! ✨

What are the Universal Juggling Battles?

Poi vs. Clubs. Ring vs. Diabolo. Hula Hoop vs. Devil Stick. Following the principles of a breakdance battle, jugglers compete against each other in exciting 1-on-1 duels. Show your best skills with your props in your style, thrill the audience, feel the music, and above all: have fun!

We look forward to the Universal Juggling Battles – whether as a participant, jury member, or spectator. Together, let's make this battle an unforgettable event!

The real fire show starts at 22:00.

We look forward to seeing you!

The Firespace is organized in collaboration with the association Flowarts. flowarts.ch

The «Swiss Juggling Association» promotes juggling and related arts in Switzerland. In particular, it promotes the realisation of the yearly Swiss Juggling Convention somewhere in Switzerland.

The Business Meeting is the general assembly of the association. The thing everyone looks forward to, is the vote where the next Swiss Juggling Convention will be held. Everyone participating at the meeting can vote.

If you're interested to organize a juggling convention yourself, it's best to get in contact with us before the juggling festival via contact form. We are happy to provide insights into the organisation process.

Information to help organising a Swiss Juggling Convention and further information about the «Swiss Juggling Association» can be found here: www.juggling.ch/sja/sja.html

Furthermore, the association is looking for people interested to join the board.

Thanks to the great support of our Prize sponsors, we've got super prizes to win! For that, just join the Universal Juggling Battle and the Juggling games.
