July 17 - 19, 2007

The diversity and madness, the charm and absolute commitment, the unpredictability and spontaneity of international art in the street paraded into Linz for the 22nd time, thus delighting over 220,000 visitors.

Forest creatures, butterflies, penguins, angels, dragons and other fantasy figures wandered across the main square, surprising passers-by with spontaneous interactions. Circus acrobatics and juggling combined with an enjoyable portion of comedy achieved thrilling heights thanks to a jump-rope, unicycle or ladder. The street theater artist companies fascinated onlookers with poetic high wire acts, interactive light performances, theater in caravans, wooden marionettes and shadow puppets.

The innovations of this year’s festival were received with enthusiasm: the sound courts, the Pflaster Nightline in the cafes of Linz, and above all the Kaleidoscope Nights in the Spektakel Tent on Pfarrplatz. Selected Pflasterspektakel artist groups presented excerpts and highlights of their performances in a circus tent atmosphere.
