The company was created in 2019, when Jean and Paula finished the professional training of the circus school in Grenoble (France). They create their first show ‘Etrangers Etrangers‘ that deals with the fear of the unknown, the intolerance and the prejudices that each one has. With this show they have done more than 100 performances and, currently, continues to tour French and European festivals. At the moment they are in the process of creating a new piece ‘En Panne‘ (provisional title), in which the duo is accompanied by a musician.

From a distant planet, a spacecraft has been sent to analyze other forms of life. During their journey, crew members have a problem and must land as soon as possible. Faced with a handful of curious looks, travelers find it difficult to establish communication with the local population, which is not familiar with their language. With so much incomprehension, they rush to repair the ship, but the sound that comes out from their machine begins to create an unforeseen link with the natives.

The contemporary circus collective “Būda” (Vílnius, Lituania) was created on the initiative of the juggler Kasparas Bujanauskas. The collective examines the similarities and differences between different art disciplines and tries to erase the boundaries between them. “Būda” team is not afraid to play, improvise and look for something that has not yet been discovered. The most important thing is being together and feeling each other on and off the stage.

Formada el 2014 a Montevideo (Uruguai), la companyia Plataforma CLO promou la creació, recerca i circulació del circ expandit. El projecte és una creació de Noel Rosas (Uruguai) amb la col·laboració de Maria Carolina Oliveira (Brasil).

La seva proposta artística combina circ, performance i dansa. Fomenta la producció i distribució d’arts vives, teixint xarxes de col·laboració entre diverses artistes, col·lectius, organitzacions i institucions en l’àmbit nacional i internacional. Actualment, organitza la residència Poéticas en Encuentro, a Canelones, i el Ciclo Interseccional Circense. Les creacions i coproduccions han circulat i participat en diverses sales, programes de residència i festivals a Uruguai, Mèxic, Brasil, Perú, Argentina i Tenerife.

En l’actualitat treballa en el projecte “De la memoria a la fuerza centrífuga, rutas obsesionadas con la telepatía”, que vol aprofundir en la investigació del circ expandit, a través de pràctiques de circ i de performance. Una exploració en codi de conferència circense – performativa, influenciada per pensadors/es de ciència-ficció, poètiques interseccionals i humorístiques. Reflexiona sobre les narratives antropocèntriques, especialment en el circ. Practiquen i reflexionen amb/des de/ al sud global.

Fisicoquímico Circo és la companyia d’Ailén Leiva Reyes (Argentina).

L’artista entrena i investiga la disciplina de trapezi des de l’any 2008. Es forma a la Escuela de Teatro Callejero i a la Escuela Integral de Circo de la EMAU (Escuela Municipal de Artes Urbanas) y Dirección de actores en la Escuela Provincial de Teatro y Títeres (Rosario). Des del 2015 treballa en espectacles de carrer fent solos i amb diferents companyies, i participa en diverses peces de trapezi, humor i com a presentadorx, recorrent i coneixent espais de circ d’Argentina i els seus països limítrofs.

Està en procés de creació de la peça “Febril”. Una persona humana en recerca creativa. Un laberint de preguntes, intents, ensomnis, records, salts, vols i caigudes.

El raciocini esclatat: seny i demència, il·lusió i realitat, difuminen la seva línia fronterera.

Mentrestant soroll, aquella cerca d’inspiració es converteix en el camí cap a retrobar-se amb la seva essència: serà llavors quan aconsegueixi trobar l’autèntica obra mestra.

After 12 years of circus in Finland where she was burned, Viivi came to France in 2009 to go to Centro Nacional de los Artes de Circo in Chalon en Champagne. From there, Viivi were involved in a lot of project with her circus agres : the rope. She co-created two shows Metsa – the forest project with Sade Kamppila and the duo Dans ton cirque with Fragan Gehlker and Ana Tauber. She’s now creating her first solo with a mini rope called « V ».

Delving into Viivi’s innerself, V is a performance in which the artist reveals her personal mythology. Her relationship with the rope is the subject matter of the show. In V, Viivi has chosen to shorten it thereby opening a new range of possibilities by instilling a greater void and a different apprehension of the ground. Infused with the pleasure of her first solo performance, she embarks the audience on a journey to her inner depths reminding us of our multiple selves.

Circus artist (Rogelio Rivel Circus School – 2016) and social teacher (University of Barcelona – 2013) by training, and by untraining, all the rest: investigator of the performative action and movement, driving force behind pedagogic projects with art as a transversal pivot, trainer, creator and highly interested in interdisciplinarity.

She studies with professors like: Mal Pelo, Hamza Benlabied, Andrés Corchero, Alexander Gavrilov and Semolina Tomic, amongst others.  In 2016 she cofounds the Cia. Capes (CAT) company, a hand-to-hand duo. In 2018 she becomes a co-founder and artist of the Ino Kollektiv (FR) female hand-to-hand collective, with which she currently works. Together with this collective, she forms part of a new circus, song and psychology project: Ekco (MX-IT-FR-ES) and another spontaneous circus and improv project about acrobalance: Improportes (FR-ES), together with another company: Kolektivo Konika. In 2022 she commences the personal research for the Cavitat f project.

Cavitat f.

Each body is a synthesis of his own history. Memory can be explicit when we can reasonably explain or describe a concrete experience, or implicit when the body reacts to experiences that cannot be processed by the mind. “Cavitat f.” is an artistic project that investigates the materialization of memory in the body, or in other words; embodied memories: everything that is recorded on the body as a movement, gesture, sound or posture in memory (mostly unconscious) of a concrete experience. The idea is to facilitate a work that puts the body in relation to the codification of these memories, to understand the forms and their learning processes, to see which ones and why they have been forgotten and if it is necessary to make them visible and perhaps resignify them. The project wants to observe how the context affects all this and also the relationship between two or more bodies and think how to generate collective body memories.
