On October 4th and 5th, 2024, the Cirkus Kolektiv association will organize the second Split Calling - a festival of contemporary circus and open-air arts.

Over two days, the festival will take place at selected public locations in the city center of Split, offering a rich program aimed at creating a new vision and perception of spaces marked by tourism, gentrification, and monocultural transformations.

The program will feature eight different performances, including two shows, one work-in-progress presentation, a performative walk, as well as discursive and educational content. The festival will host contemporary circus artists and other artistic disciplines from Germany, Spain, Italy, and Croatia.

The final day and festival closing will be marked by a party with DJ Indlovu and a concert by the band Promaya, with refreshments provided by eSTe Bar
