Circus Creation in march in Latin America
La Central del Circ has many artists coming from Latin America among its users and Catalan companies are exporting their spectacles more and more often to this continent. Roberto Magro has made several trips there in recent years, meeting with the heads of circus schools and centres and discovering a blossoming artistic community. It was time, then, that La Central established solid links with Latin American circus artists and professionals and the best way to do so was with what we know best: by accompanying circus spectacles.
