Trànsits

Antonia Solano began her career in the circus world in Málaga, her hometown, and continued it in Barcelona. She is self-taught in the art of antipodism and the creator of La Querida Compañía. She is currently part of the Truca Circus Company.

The Decúbit project takes the word antipodism as its starting point, from which the idea of the opposite emerges as a driving force for research. It focuses on working with the trinka and how its use affects the body and the stage, exploring new relationships between technique, object, and stage perspective.

Ginés Belchi Gabarrón is a floor acrobat and, since the age of 15, has been in love with the body and its possibilities. He works with the language of acrodance, physical theatre, and experimental dance. He trained at the Centre de les Arts del Circ Rogelio Rivel and at Ésacto’Lido in Toulouse. He is co-founder of the company El lado oscuro de las flores and has taken part in various projects in Catalonia, such as the Combinat de Circ and the Circ d’Hivern at Ateneu Popular 9Barris. He has also worked with different companies in France.

He is currently developing the research project Con placer querida / Complacer qué herida, an exploration through the acrobatic body, physical theatre, and object manipulation —scissors—. Different fragilities, states, and ways of approaching the object raise questions about how the way we relate to ourselves can be more or less dangerous, and how this can affect us in different ways.
