Secrets
Compañía De Circo "eia" (Spain)
The Catalan company Circo “eia” stands for contemporary circus that places people and their relationships at the centre. In their latest work, Secrets, the artists explore change – the passing of time, personal and social upheavals, and the challenges of a world in crisis mode.
With impressive acrobatics, subtle humour and great sensitivity, they create a poetic space for reflection. Between physical virtuosity and playful imagination, the ensemble explores how change can succeed, and what role art can play in opening up new perspectives.
A moving circus experience about transience, solidarity and the power to rethink the future.
