Gothenburg Dance and Theatre Festival
An international performing arts festival held every two years in Gothenburg, presenting circus, dance, theater, and outdoor performance from around the world. The festival was founded in 1994 and is since 2016 produced by Stora Teatern. 

Stora Teatern
Located in central Gothenburg, Stora Teatern is a historic venue for Swedish and international guest performances. Established in 1859, it offers a rich program featuring contemporary circus, dance, theater and music. As part of Göteborgs Stadsteater AB, it aims to be a leading stage for performing arts in the Nordic region. Since the start we have a focus on contemporary circus, presenting at least 6 international circus shows per year. We are now establishes as the leading circus venue in Sweden. Stora Teatern also has circus school for children and families. We also run the initiative Cirkus i Väst, which aims to promote and spread circus art throughout our region. In 2023 Stora Teatern started the Swedish touring network for international circus together with 5 other venues in Sweden. Now, in 2025, we've just started a Nordic touring network together with 36 other venues in the Nordic Countries.
