Through the Trànsits residency program, the aim is not only to support contemporary circus research and creation—conceived as practices and forms capable of contributing perspectives and dialogue to contemporary debates—but also to foster the intersection of disciplines and viewpoints.

This year’s residency modalities are as follows:

• Research Trànsits (supported by the ‘Barcelona Crea Grants – Creative Factories’) – Two grants will be awarded

• Creation Trànsits – Five grants will be awarded

• T.E.S.T! (Technical Sensation Scenic Trànsit) – One grant will be awarded

• Community Creation Trànsit (supported by the ‘Barcelona Crea Grants – Creative Factories’) – One grant will be awarded

Residencies will take place between January and December 2026. The specific dates will be arranged with each company based on their availability and that of the spaces.
(Please note: La Central del Circ does not provide accommodation for resident companies.)

From December 3 to 5, La Central del Circ will host the 8th Dramaturgy and Scenic Writing Conference. These three days will be dedicated to talks, reflection panels, and workshops focused on circus dramaturgy.

This edition, curated by artist and dramaturg Antonia Kuzmanić, will feature a wide participation of international speakers such as Agathe Dumont, Ivana Vukóvić, and Gaia Vimercati, among others. Catalan artists like Júlia Campistany and Clàudia Mirambell (Eléctrico28) will also take part.
