Circo de la Sombra

Circo de la Sombra (Catalonia)

Circo de la Sombra have been wowing audiences all around Europe with their charming take on the traditional travelling circus show.

Bringing six of the finest acrobats from Spain, France and Italy together with the renowned Napolese band Le Grande Osim Orchestra, they create a breathtaking world where reality and gravity are left at the door.

In a delightful show for all ages, this young group bursts out with all the energy of the circus, falling from doorways, climbing on ceilings, disappearing into cupboards and popping up on the roof. The characters will have you laughing and gasping as they transfix you with their frenetic pace, side-splitting humour, and stunning skill. Join them in their crumbling world and swing to the strains of the live band as they play their own unique blend of traditional European music. 

“Traditional circus techniques get turned on their head, spun violently around, thrown ten feet in the air and caught with one hand in this cheeky and exhilarating piece.” Metro

“The whole evening is a joy.” Irish Independent
