In keeping with this year’s festival motto “Innovative between modernity and tradition”, the jury is also made up of experts who work in very different areas of circus and show business. YOUNG STAGE is a central point of contact in the global circus scene and maintains close relationships with leading experts and artists. These connections make it possible to invite a high-caliber jury of eight renowned personalities. One of them is Urs Pilz, probably the world’s most renowned representative of traditional circus. He is Artistic Director of the International Circus Festival in Monte-Carlo and President of the World Circus Association.
Diana Salles, a trans woman and artist who works in a very contemporary environment.
And Nadja Sieger, known to all Swiss as the female part of the clown duo “Ursus & Nadeschkin”.
