During the START-UP LABO, they will work together on Nor ni noch (working title), a playful, interactive preschool show that secretly feels a bit like a bedtime story. With a backdrop of giant mushrooms and soft elements, they take their young audience into a dreamy world where balance, curiosity, and caring for one another are central themes. Afterwards, they invite the children to play, do crafts, and help shape the performance.

Thanks to the players of the National Lottery, young circus professionals can complete a paid internship program that focuses on artistic, physical, and business coaching. With the START-UP LABO, the National Lottery and Ell Circo D’ell Fuego are working together to professionalize the Belgian circus landscape and further position it both nationally and internationally.
