Electric Circus Tickets

Electric Circus brings live, acoustic performances to the streets with a twist: autonomous robotic puppets and animatronics that create immersive theatre without traditional loudspeakers. Founded by inventor Fred Abels and puppeteer Mirjam Langemeijer, the company operates from the Domijn in Weesp since 2019, turning public spaces into intimate theatres. Their shows fuse playful robotics, puppetry, and music generated acoustically to captivate audiences of all ages.

Based in the Netherlands, Electric Circus crafts shows that feel like a secret performance you stumble upon, then can’t forget. They combine hands-on craftsmanship with inventive storytelling, delivering experiences that are both technically impressive and emotionally engaging.

Biography: Electric Circus emerged from the collaboration of inventor Fred Abels and puppeteer Mirjam Langemeijer. Since 2019, their base at the Domijn in Weesp has been a creative hub for developing autonomous, music-infused street theatre. The company’s work emphasizes accessibility and wonder, inviting audiences to engage with technology as a storytelling device rather than a spectacle.

Discography Highlights: Although primarily a live performance ensemble, Electric Circus has garnered attention for works such as Café the Glowing Pickle, Headspace (an autonomous head/miniature theatre), Mono the Monkey, and Dirk the homeless robot. These pieces showcase the blend of mechanical puppetry, sound design, and narrative spectacle that defines the company.

Upcoming Tour 2025: In 2025, Electric Circus will tour across Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. Planned stops include De Gevleugelde stad in Ieper (BE), Weesp (NL), Karavaan Festival in Alkmaar (NL), Ruhrfestspiele in Recklinghausen (DE), and Kleines Fest in Hannover (DE).
