Our world today is a minefield of countless challenging situations and questions. As we embark on a search of well-being and joy, key questions include, "How can young people cope with these challenges, what gives them a sense of control in their lives, and what serves as a source of strength?". The Circus of Well-Being takes a light-hearted, playful look at what makes us happy and applies the 'tools' that art provides us with: music, theater, dance, performance figures, and technology.

Experience a sense of wonder and well-being as you discover the Circus of Knowledge and the JKU's unique oasis of well-being.
The artistic performances will alter our perception, allowing us to rediscover and redefine our personal relationship to our immediate surroundings, to our fellow human beings, and to the world.

Join in and explore the magic of being and the opportunities life presents us with. Dance and break the mold, challenge boundaries and sing out into the world together!
A place isn’t just where you are; it’s what you make of it.

In addition to performances, there will be a range of different activities at the JKU at this time, including dance, music, theater, and practicing relaxation & meditation techniques.
Monday, June 3, to Thursday, June 6, 2024, between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM.
Monday, June 10, to Thursday, June 13, 2024, between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM
