Step into a world where visual art meets acrobatics, flow arts, and bursts of light.
Get ready for a one-of-a-kind experience that fuses fire, iron, acrobatics, and visual art into an unrepeatable contemporary circus street performance — the Propane Punk Show. The fiery amusement park MansterVille joins forces with the artistic collective Blackout Paradox to bring you a show like no other — right on Mierové Square in Trenčín.
Propane Punk Show is a stunning street performance that smells of iron and propane. The audience can look forward to unique new circus disciplines — from dynamic trapeze acrobatics and graceful rides in a burning cage to breathtaking flow arts choreographies, all accompanied by spectacular pyrotechnic effects.
The entire show is brought to life by director Vojta Štulc, dramaturge Michaela Hradecká, a team of choreographers, and producer Linda Lomozová.

About the creators:
MansterVille is an interactive fiery amusement park, also known as the Propane Punk Circus. Its dominant feature is the massive double wheel Manster Wheel, symbolizing the fusion of visual art, music, and live performance. The author of the concept and structures, Vojtěch Štulc, created the original artistic style “Propane-punk,” which defines the entire visual and performative experience.
Blackout Paradox is an artistic collective founded in 2017 by Michael Bartizal and Michaela Hradecká. The group specializes in street art, flow arts, physical theatre, dance, and acrobatics.
