This General Meeting took place in Zagreb, November 17-19 in the frame of the Festival Novog Cirkusa (New Circus Festival) organized by Croatian association Mala Performerska Scena.

In 2015-2016, the biannual edition of the festival acts as a creation incubator, supporting Croatian and foreign companies through residencies, cooperations and co-productions taking place throughout the year.

During the General Meeting, Circostrada members were able to see new creations by ROOM 100 (Croatia), Lana Paic - L'Estock Fish (Croatia/France), Miguel Gigosos Ronda (Spain), Angela Wand (Sweden) and much more...The festival programme also included new works by Crida Company (France), WHS (Finland), Nata Galkina (Russia) and Ximena Ameri (Peru), Alexander Vantournhout (Belgium).

Another highlight of the 2016 edition: an interdisciplinary conference entitled "OTHERHOOD: Circus & Identity", from November 14-15.
