Who are Cirque du Solidarity? We are a collective with a shared passion for performance, social justice and hanging from things upside down. In a time when the world seems upside down we want to use circus arts to come together and social action. While it’s easy to feel lost, we believe with the power of community, anything is possible and hope conquers hate. Cirque du Solidarity stands with everyone facing oppression, discrimination and conflict - across the world, whether that be Sudan, Congo, Palestine, Kashmir, Venezuela, Lebanon to our neighbours here in the UK. This event is fundraising for a community group providing medical care in Southern Lebanon. We feel the destruction and suffering faced in the South of Lebanon has been largely ignored by mainstream media despite over 4,330 deaths in the current conflict, with over 375,000 people displaced and 230,436 homes destroyed as of July 2026. Through this event we hope to raise awareness and that we stand together for the people affected. All the proceeds from this event will go to Blue Mission, a grassroots charity providing urgent medical care to families in South Lebanon - supporting those whose homes have been destroyed and lives uprooted by on ongoing Israeli invasion.

We want this event to be inclusive to all so we have kept the ticket prices as low as possible, £10 to cover running costs. All artists and organisers are volunteering their time.
