A highlight in the Visp theater "La Poste" event calendar: "The Tenth International Artistry festival in Switzerland" After eight sold-out editions, sensational reviews from experts as well as the audience, the budding festival is proud to present it's tenth production. The Artistika presents the sophisticated art form in which the human body seems to defy the physical laws thus captivating the audience from young and old. Far from the circus roof show artists their skills, direct, close and without the safety of a double bottom. Six selected stars of the circus scene will compete at the ninth ARTISTIKA for the highly prized trophy. An international jury of artists, which shall also prove their work by presenting their skills on this very special night, will have the not so easy task of choosing the winner. In addition to the juries’ choice of winner, the audience will also be allowed to elect its winner. True to the Artistika tradition, an Artistika for lifetime achievement will also be presented during the evening. The lifetime achievement award goes to Oleg Izossimov. The proud Patron of the tenth “Artistika” will be the famous swiss actress Annelore Sarbach.
