6:30 PM Sandra Gutrejde 0 Comments


The 8th Buenos Aires International Circus Festival, organized by the Ministry of Culture of the City of Buenos Aires, will take place between May 12 and May 22, 2016, at Buenos Aires Polo Circo, Centro Cultural Kirchner, and Tecnopolis.

The Festival will offer the public unique experiences, outstanding artistic performances, and fun national and international shows and performances by Circus companies from France, Australia, Sweden, UK, and Argentina, focusing on contemporary circus.

This year the Festival will feature the French company Théatre Le Monfort with three exceptional works. Nube (Cloud): premiered at the Nuit Blanche in París, an open air performance that will be installed in the front of Centro Cultural Kirchner, a giant cloud floating in the air. An acrobat climbs on it, jumps and plays. Finally the cloud turns into snow that falls on the spectators, making them an active part of this fascinating spectacle. 
This free show will be presented on Saturday and Sunday, every half hour from 5.30 pm, and Monday to Friday at 6 pm, 6.30 pm, and 7 pm.
The other two shows by this company are Tu and Noos, at Buenos Aires Polo Circo.

The British company Upswing presents Bedtime Stories. From Sweden, David Eriksson, one of the most talented members of Cirkus Cirkör, presents the show for adults Pink on the inside; and from France, Florent Bergal, presents his magical show Oktobre.
