Trànsits

Ex-libris

Moments of unnoticed happiness: small things or moments of daily life that make us happy, that make us get out of the routine and bring us a ray of light.

Artist collective with the aim of exceed the borders that limit us. His work transcends a level of life positioning of fraternity in front of a world that drives people towards individualism.

Sweet drama

Life is a SWEET DRAMA! It’s caothic and full of imperfections just like us. Get the peace among this chaos…this is the light. And the light only exists if there is darkness.

THE END IS NIGH!

12 different universes coexist in the same apocalyptic space-time. Its approach, besides being artistic, is human and circus apparatus are understood as a wealth, rather than a restriction.

Mitone

Let’s make an experience together. Mitone, up or down. Leon or Leo. Not one, not the other. A balance between two worlds. The master moment: the jump.

Arrels

The ARRELS project is born out of the need for dialogue between the way of inhabiting the trapeze and the way of observing it through cinematic optics. It seeks how the gesture nourishes the image and how this entails an expansion of  its possibilities.

Aurora Caja (Palma de Mallorca) studies plastic arts at the Escola Massana in Barcelona and beaux-arts at the University of Barcelona. She continues her training at the FLIC Scuola di Circo in Turin, Italy. There she specializes in the discipline of verticals. Her first project is called En Perill d’Extinció (2016).

She also takes part in creative labs with professionals like Tomic, Jean Michael Guy and Volmir Cordeiro, Roberto Magro, Marta Torrents, Eva Ordoñez, Cristian Coumin and Pau Portabella.

In 2018 she starts the development of her first show, No verbal. In October 2021 she takes part in the FOCON training at the ÉSACTO Lido (École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque Toulouse-Occitanie, FR). In 2022 she presents No verbal in the form of a tour at the Picasso Museum in Barcelona, as part of the Creació i Museus device and within the Grec Festival schedule, in Barcelona. The show is produced by La Central del Circ and the Picasso Museum.

At the same time, she continues to work as a visual artist, in collaboration with Cia. Eia, Joan Català, and also independently. In 2022 she creates the exhibition Out of the Box.

No verbal

“No verbal” transcends into an intimate dimension; into a placenta, into a mental space. It’s a discovery trip which reveals itself the same way light penetrates darkness.

It’s a physical story that talks about being human from her most carnally honest perspective. A struggle to find her own voice in a world overwhelmed by noise. A rebellion.

In a plastic universe, the body defines the narrative. Its language is made of balance, acrobatic motion, contortion and drawing.

Polychromatic Void

For some time now I have been quite obsessed with ambient music and the generative systems that many sound landscapers use to reach new horizons and textures. After researching a lot about generative music, I decided to do the same with juggling, and look in the direction of a couple of subgenres that I currently call Ambient Juggling and Generative Juggling.

Ambient Juggling is an unpretentious juggling, it is an act that has as its engine the constant dissolution, it exists without having to stand out with respect to the environment. Generative juggling goes a step further, trying to understand the whole environment as a system that gives inputs and receives stimuli, and based on all these parameters it evolves towards unplanned places, but they can be bounded. Polychromatic Void is more aimed at “generative juggling”. Create a system between juggling, juggling, video, music, lighting, code and other elements, where everything is connected and in a constant dialogue.

‘Trying to say what’

Specializing in rope and aerial silks, Gaia Panero is currently in the process of creating the piece ‘Trying to Say What’. The research she seeks to develop has started as a physical and technical research around the discipline of rope, transforming it into an investigation into the possible relationships between the rope, the artist’s body and the space that hosts them.

From this first research, the need has arisen to create a structure that is at the same time performance space and art installation, where circus art interacts with architecture. It will be a tensegrity structure, a name derived from the words “tension” and “integrity” and will be sustained by opposing forces.

LP (Long Play)

A visual and acoustical underworld hidden behind the mask of everyday life; an escape gate through which our dreams and fears pass. A millennial temple in which we can celebrate the error; open a gap of human fragility. Wires, software, high-heeled shoes and a beard. The bodies strain under tricks of light and sound, political speeches, cellphones and pop icons. On the eve of the apocalypse, Long Play is a cry of resistance that pays tribute to the generation of the new millennium.

Catalina Aguayo and Alejandro DutraWe create an authentic discourse, highlighting the fragility of bodies, driven by essential states. They nurture themselves from the circus but also from many other things: electronic music, Xavier Dolan’s movies, Vivienne Westwood’s costumes…

‘La punta del meu nas’

This collective was born from the need to come together as a community to create, develop as artists and be able to investigate the discipline of hand-to-hand. With this new work, they return to their origins to reconstruct a common memory.

Six bodies in play, six worlds. Drifting towards a joint and shared reality. We take care of each other, we behave, we slip, we push each other. Hand-to-hand and singing as an opportunity to change everything and invite you to discover our peculiarities at close quarters.

Proyecto RUIDO

Scenic research project, whose object of study is the concept of noise and its different possible interpretations, with the aim of generate an interdisciplinary artistic language readable in the scene.
