El circ d’avui’, tercera trobada oberta de l’Arxiu Viu de Circ, a La Central del Circ
La 3a trobada ‘El circ d’avui’, que tindrà lloc divendres 11 d’abril, de 16h a 19h, a La Central del Circ, és un espai de trobada per reflexionar sobre el paper de l’arxiu en el circ contemporani i la seva rellevància en un món saturat d’informació. Ens preguntarem quina memòria volem preservar i què és el que realment necessita ser arxivat per garantir que el patrimoni circense romangui viu i accessible.

‘Circus Artists and Dissidences’, fourth open meeting of the Living Circus Archive, at the Konvent
The 4th meeting, ‘Circus Artists and Dissidences’, will take place on Wednesday, April 24 at 6 p.m. at the Konvent, Cal Rosal (Berguedà), as part of the Kontrast Festival. It will focus on gender and sexual diversity, aiming to give voice to women and dissident (LGBTIQ+) artists within the circus world. We propose an intergenerational dialogue space where the body is reclaimed as a political tool, and where the need for a gender perspective in constructing circus narratives is emphasized.
