Nits de Circ

Circus under the stars

Besalú and Roses will once again be­come the cap­i­tals of cir­cus by host­ing the Nits de Circ fes­ti­val. After the suc­cess of its two pre­vi­ous edi­tions, the cir­cus fes­ti­val is back with about 15,000 tick­ets on sale this sum­mer. Pro­moted by the Cir­cus Arts Foun­da­tion, the fes­ti­val will take place in two unique venues: the Jardins del Molí de Besalú (Au­gust 6-9) and the Ciu­tadella de Roses (Au­gust 16-23).

The new show, de­signed once again by its artis­tic di­rec­tor, Genís Mata­bosch, lasts an hour and a half and has no in­ter­mis­sion. In total, there are nine ex­cep­tional per­for­mances by 24 artists from 11 dif­fer­ent coun­tries, and live music per­formed by the Paris Cir­cus Or­ches­tra.

The pro­gramme this year aims to break the at­ten­dance record with the fol­low­ing per­for­mances of the biggest names of in­ter­na­tional cir­cus: the high-al­ti­tude flights with aer­ial straps by Brazil’s Giselle Souza, the world bal­ance record hold­ers Duo Vi­talys (Peru), strength and ac­ro­bat­ics on the pole from Colom­bia’s Duo Acero, the reck­less knife throw­ers Blade 2 Blade (Italy and Ukraine), the in­tre­pid fly­ing trapeze artists The Fly­ing Hen­riquez (Chile, Hun­gary and South Africa), the re­bound jug­gling break­out artist Ser­gio Paolo (Chile), the dare­devil high-al­ti­tude tightrope walk­ers Marin Fam­ily (Colom­bia), the ge­nius of hu­mour with­out words, Matute (Chile), and the im­pos­si­ble con­tor­tions in the aer­ial cir­cle of Alexan­dra Sazonova (Uzbek­istan).
