A professional contemporary circus company in Kathmandu

Inspired by mythical Nepali storytelling, the company mixes traditional and contemporary performing arts to create edgy, fresh and dynamic circus. The company is currently made up of 13 multi-talented young people. Circus Kathmandu [CK] perform high-quality aerial and ground-based acts and shows nationally and internationally. [CK is the professional strand of Sapana social circus and training programme]. 

CK is a contemporary circus company with a difference:

CK is comprised of hugely talented young people who have been rescued from human trafficking and other vulnerable situations. Many of its members have been retrieved from Indian circuses where they were sold as young children. They trained hard as performers, often learning skills to a very high standard, but usually missed out on other education. Without education, and often with little or no support from their families,  their options are very limited when they return to Nepal.  CK has given them a platform to express and further develop their hard-earned skills in a safe, supportive and highly creative environment.  It also provides them with solid and enjoyable vocational options.
