Circus in progress

Perhaps because the classic categories are no longer enough: it’s not a traditional show, it’s not dance, and it’s certainly not the circus of past generations. It’s sport, it’s culture, it’s creation — it’s life.

And so we suddenly find ourselves searching for new standards: is it a beautiful show? A bad one? Is it even a “show” at all?This initiative offers a way to tell the story of today’s national and European contemporary circus scene without explaining it — inviting the curious to watch, to take part, and to realize that when we say “circus” today, we mean a new way of living and seeing life itself.We invite professional circus artists to spend a week or two with us at Circo all’InCirca.
During their stay, they will share their training methods with our community, and on Friday evenings they’ll present their work-in-progress pieces — a sort of circus aperitif, followed, of course, by a Friulian one with beers and cheers. A wonderful opportunity for growth and exchange for everyone at Circo all’InCirca — young and old, beginners and professionals alike.
Don’t miss it!

A season dedicated mainly to semi-professional and amateur artists from the Circo all’InCirca community — with special guests joining us from other regions as well.

Artistic research using contemporary circus, dance/theatre, and digital technology, interwoven to explore the fragmentation of human attention, the longing for genuine connection, and the exhaustion brought by the digital world.The work reflects on hyper-connected life and the resulting fragility of mental health in our time.The project began in 2024 in São Paulo, Brazil — the city where both artists live. With their diverse backgrounds and multidisciplinary skills, they are developing a multimedia performance that brings these reflections to life on stage.
