Varieties

so it was on the last Variete 25.10.2025

Variete - is a collage of etudes showing different faces of the new circus.

Shows dancing in the air, juggling, balancing, acrobatics and a joke in a good tone. The only such event in our city.

Szczecin Variete - this is a manifestation of our need to share circus art, to present its different faces as possible, as well as an attempt to invite you to start your own adventure with the circus.

In this year's edition, we bet on a strong Szczecin national team, but there will also be guests from outside.

25.10.2025: Daniel Chlibiuk (near Cyra), Aryna Kandratsiuk (handbalance), Anna Meireles (near Cyra), Patkot le Circus Freak, Artur Perskawiec (juggling), Tomasz Krawczyk (Chinese pole), Abstract Show - Łukasz Banach and Filip Szymczak (teeterboard), Sabina Drina Karolina Banąg and Karolina Banàs (beater), Natalia Mikita and Michalina Bogucka (vertical wrap), Karolina Porzezińska and Lena Szyrwińska (circus circle), Karolina Korzeniewska and Bartek Kubiak (partner acrobatics).

Co-founder of the Sztukmistrz Foundation, circus artist and educator, sports acrobatics coach. He has been developing circus art in Lublin for years, conducting educational projects and training children, youth and adult adepts of the new circus, as well as presenting his performances on Polish and international stages. Creator and performer of many contemporary circus performances, including Tribute, Classic Meets Circus or Szafa Show, winner of the Teatr Polska program of the Theater Institute with performances Gradient and Spektrum. He creates artistic ensembles in Acrotrio MAD and in Duet ChyŻo.

He is from Belarus. She began her adventure with sports acrobatics at the age of 6. In the meantime, she was also engaged in figure skating. Finally, she became interested in handbalance and since the age of 14 she spends a large part of her time upside down constantly improving her skills (self-improvement, because in principle she is self-taught). First time on our Variete!

At the age of 30, she left a stable job to finally give herself a chance to fulfill her dreams. This path led Ania to the circus, where she fell in love with Cyra's wheel

- and it was there that she felt that she was in her place.

Check out this story told by movement at our event.

Educator, clown and circus promoter in one. He started his adventure with circus art out of boredom, but continues it with passion. From that moment on, he became a circus circulator, meeting new people, new spaces and deepening his knowledge.
He uses this knowledge and experience in many circus disciplines by mixing and exploring different techniques and methods - both in artistic and pedagogical work.

During his adventure, he wandered the world, performed on stages and streets, among others in Germany, Turkey, Finland, Poland and Belgium, and finally settled in Szczecin.

Contemporary circus artist, juggler, dancer, acrobat and stuntman. For years, he has delighted the audience with an unusual combination of strength, precision and expressiveness of movement. He cooperates with the Sztukmistrz Foundation, creates original plays and conducts workshops in Poland and abroad. His shows are a mixture of passion, emotion and perfect mastery of the body — a real treat for the eyes and imagination!

Six years ago, he fell in love with the Chinese masthead, in which he graduated from the State School of Circus Art in Julinek and the FLIC circus school in Turin. He began his adventure with the circus 18 years ago in Club 303 of the Kraków-Nowa Huta Cultural Center. Over the years he has developed in many artistic fields, such as dance, theater, acrobatics, music or fire shows. He gained experience working in various teams and projects both in Poland and abroad. He has performed in Germany, France, Italy and Romania, as well as outside Europe — including Dubai, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. He is currently a member of the Abstract Show group and collaborates with the Cortiqué Anna Niedźwiedź Theatre in Poznań.

Łukasz Banach and Filip Szymczak are a duo of acrobats and members of the Abstract Show group, specializing in teeterboard acrobatics. Łukasz is a former sports gymnast, and Filip started his way with parkour, and then graduated from the stunt school. Both have honed their skills over the years in various fields of the arts — from dance and theatre, to circus and fire shows. This makes their style dynamic, spectacular and full of energy. They gained stage experience in Poland and many European countries, as well as in the Middle East, including Dubai, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

Forgotten, abandoned and rusty... Aunties? Oh, no, it's just neighborhood beaters. Because aunts in pajamas have worlds shattering energies in them. After the morning coffee, no carpet scares them. They shake the whole district and a large cloud of dust rises above them. I don't know where the leg is or where the hand is. Get ready for a good dose of whirlwind evolutions. After what you will see, no beater will be indifferent to you!

They have been working and training together for years, their connection is unstoppable! They will present themselves to us on a vertical sling, emphasizing its merits and not substitutability.

This show will be full of airiness, grace and harmony. There will definitely be no shortage of twists and turns in it!

This duo is a combination of strength and confidence, thanks to which the artists will show how beautiful it is to fly and express themselves in aerial acrobatics. The girls will perform using a familiar prop in the new release.

A duo that together can do everything from juggling to aerials, though they can't necessarily do it separately. They have been practicing partner acrobatics together for several years, and recently they have been trying to do it in a humorous way and not just aesthetically pleasing.
