Dimarts 20 de juny s’inaugura ‘Nus’ al Centre Cívic Sant Martí, una exposició fruit de la col·laboració entre Marissa Paituví, investigadora i creadora, i la fotògrafa Marta Garcia Cardellach, amb el suport de La Central del Circ.

‘Nus’ és una peça de recerca i creació sobre la percepció estètica en el circ.

Paral·lelament a l’exposició, es duran a terme diverses activitats. Podeu consultar el programa aquí.

Every Wednesday, from 10.30am to 11.30am, the Coffee meeting takes place in the common kitchen area of La Central del Circ.

It’s a meeting place for users, artists and companies in residence and the management team of La Central del Circ, with the aim of sharing a while together.

We’re waiting for you!

The second gathering, titled “Pioneers of the New Catalan Circus”, will take place at the Ateneu Popular 9 Barris on Friday, December 20, 2024, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. This meeting aims to reconstruct the memory of experiences lived during the 1970s and 1990s, a pivotal period in the development of contemporary circus in the region.

If you are interested in being part of this collective reconstruction and contributing to the development of this shared narrative, we invite you to contact us at projectes@lacentraldelcirc.cat to confirm your attendance.

We will hold space to share visions, proposals and learn more about different aspects of the center and its operation.

If you would like to propose a topic for discussion, please do so via email at: coordinatioart@lacentraldelcirc.cat.

The Under Construction demonstrations are a very special moment of presentation by individual artists and companies that reveal a first phase of their personal research. The aim is that these artists can confront the first stage of their research with an accomplice audience.

After the demonstration, a conversation takes place between the artists and the audience in order to open up and stimulate observation of the work presented and reflection on the work itself. Under Construction takes place once every month and a half or every two months, on Thursday afternoons.

Artists interested in participating must contact the artistic coordination of La Central: coordinacioart@lacentraldelcirc.cat

How does a collective come into being? How does it grow and evolve? How is horizontality in relationships fostered within artistic work and the collective’s functioning? What makes collective stage creation unique?

We will discuss these and other questions with Alba Ramió i Güell, drawing from her experience with Ino Kollektiv, an international acrobatic balancing company currently working on its second creation.

Alba Ramió i Güell is a circus artist and artistic mediator. In addition to being part of Ino Kollektiv, she is the author of various artistic mediation, research, and creation projects, such as Paradoxa Circense (circus and academia), Improportes (improvisation and acrobatic balances), Tarot i Circ (associative cards), the pedagogical kit Les cures i el circ (circus pedagogy), and Cavitat f. (a solo stage piece in progress).

On Thursday, March 20th, from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM, the first edition of P.L.A.T will take place, in collaboration with circusnext. On this occasion, we will have the opportunity to see a small performance preview of the HERTZ project by Cie. Dissociée.

The event is free of charge, with prior registration. A vegan dish will be served free of charge to all attendees.

Next Thursday, April 3rd, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM, at La Central del Circ, we invite you to the discussion table “Material as a Creative Engine”, featuring artist Vivian Friedrich. This event is part of the 2nd edition of the 360º Accompaniment Circuit within the Circus Promotion Plan (2023-2026).

Vivian Friedrich is a researcher and creator of performative circus. In 2022, she premiered Kristall Bohème at the Mercat de les Flors, a piece dedicated to her family’s glassblowing tradition. She has continued exploring movement and glassblowing in Sklenka Melta, a piece with four performers that has yet to be premiered.

How does research with a given material influence, transform, and expand circus movement? How does one move from material exploration to making it a stage partner or even the central element of creation?

Vivian Friedrich’s ongoing creative journey, merging movement and the art of glassblowing, will serve as a starting point for exploring the relationship between the body, circus, and materiality.

The discussion tables of the 360º Accompaniment Circuit are informal exchange spaces for sharing artistic experiences, knowledge, and inquiries, facilitated by established artists and companies.

This event is aimed at emerging contemporary circus artists based in Catalonia.

Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis (maximum 20 participants).
