Plausibile Festival 2026
The festival will take place from May 8th to May 31st. During the week preceding each group’s performance, classes will be moved to the big top for dress rehearsals, which will take place during their regular training time. This year as well, the collaboration with Hattiva Lab continues — a social cooperative that develops socio-educational projects for people with disabilities and children with Special Educational Needs through personal support services.
The tent will be set up on the lawn adjacent to Hattiva LAB? Click here for the map.
A good excuse to work hard together.
Ever set up a circus tent?
While artificial intelligences promise to make us work less and less, we and our now legendary Don Quixote counter-trend persist in spending the summer putting up tents. It seems to us a fundamental part of our way of seeing the world: we have learned that the circus is different also for this. Not to mention our cumbersome Friulian DNA, that of the "fasin di bessoi".
Genetics aside, it seems to us that this draws a clear line of demarcation on our style: artists who do not do circus arrive on stages already ready for their performance, for us it is not like that: putting up our house is a tiring gesture, but symbolically linked to the love and dedication necessary to do this job, it is an explicit declaration on the physical and concrete way in which we accept the risks of the acrobat and the uncertainty of a whole life spent generating culture. Take a look at the micro documentary made by Bart.
Our tensile structure weighs about 20 tons in total, and it takes three days to assemble, a few liters of sweat and a lot of willpower. However, at the end of each assembly we arrive smiling and with a great desire for a beer – which we usually find immediately –. In recent years we have hosted several fathers and a few mothers in the assembly team. Do you want to come this year too?
