Trànsits

Circus artists Tona Punsola and Jordi Puigoriol, from La Bel·Bel Company, and dancer and choreographer Jordi Cortés, from Liant la Troca Company, come together to carry out the community-based stage creation project Boxa, Cells and Other Stories, which involves the participation of a group of twelve people from the Joia Foundation.

Through circus and dance, the project works with memories, recollections, and fragments: intimate and shared stories that appear, disappear, and are recomposed, like cells in constant transformation. A process of collective research in which the body becomes a living archive. Memory is the red thread that runs through the creation: what is inscribed in the body, what persists, what fragments and is rewritten. Boxa, Cells and Other Stories highlights collective creation as a space for encounter, listening, and expression.

La casa está en llamas

La Casa está en Llamas is a project that celebrates functional diversity as a powerful way of living and transforming the world. Using tools from circus, dance, theater, and visual arts, workshops and dynamics will be conducted to highlight the participants’ perspectives, revealing their transformative potential. In a safe space, topics such as self-perception, recognition, self-validation, and personal desires will be addressed, emphasizing the value and creativity of our differences. The circus concept of risk will be used to create performative spaces that will showcase the final proposals.
