Circus Cortex

Organisation Image

Irina Archer, founder and artistic director of Circus Cortex, is a creative powerhouse whose journey spans more than two decades in the world of circus. From her beginnings as an elite gymnast to starring roles with Ringling Brothers and Tihany, Irina’s passion for performance has always shone through.

In 2021, she brought her vision to life with Circus Cortex—a company that blends daring acrobatics, rich storytelling, and theatrical artistry into a thrilling modern experience.

Driven by compassion and cultural pride, Irina has opened her stage to Ukrainian artists displaced by war, making Circus Cortex not only a spectacle, but a home.

With stunning shows like THE EDGE and WARRIORS, Irina invites audiences into a world where courage meets creativity, and every performance tells a deeper story. Her work continues to inspire, captivate, and redefine what circus can be.
