We had the honor of building and hosting a full stage during the first week of July in the Czech Republic, as part of a psytrance and arts festival where, for the first time, a dedicated space was introduced for circus performance, freak shows, shibari, suspension, live concerts, and a wide range of artistic expressions.
The result was a complete success, and this is how we were introduced:
Lunática Stage by Circus Brut: For the Freaks Who Burn Bright
We proudly embrace the word freak — not as a slur, but as a badge of honour. Freaks are the visionaries, the rule-breakers, the dreamers who don’t fit into neat boxes. From the fringe of historic freak shows to the pulse of counterculture, being a freak has always meant radical self-expression.
The Lunática Stage, hosted by Circus Brut, is a brand-new zone where circus performance arts merge with underground music, freak shows meet live concerts, and electronic beats drive the madness forward. Expect an eclectic mix of reggae, psydub, teknodelic, and more.
This isn’t just a stage. It’s a celebration of beautiful misfits. It’s a space where the freak flag flies highest.
Behind all of this was over a month of intense organisation, creation, and learning, which shaped a week where not a single moment was without energy, motivation, and dedication.
