For five days, various city spaces, including squares, theaters, and streets, will be the stage for a wide range of shows, acrobatics, and proposals aimed at all audiences. In addition to artistic performances, the fair will also serve as a meeting point for artists, programmers, and circus professionals from around the world.
“"Trapezi has always been a symbol of contemporary circus and innovation, complemented by street shows. I like to define it as the Circus's Major Festival: a space where we celebrate, see the work of colleagues, present new projects, and many professionals we have spread across Northern Europe return home."
This year's edition places special emphasis on the consolidation of the project and its international projection, with the aim of positioning Reus as one of the major reference centers for contemporary circus. The fair's inauguration will feature the show Entre el cel i la terra, a production that brings together a large number of artists from Catalonia.
The program seeks a balance between street and indoor shows, with a distribution designed for each type of performance. Children's shows are concentrated at Mas Iglesias, while more introspective proposals are presented at the Teatre Bartrina and large-format shows at the Teatre Fortuny.
Regarding participation, half of the companies are Catalan, 25% come from the rest of Spain, and the remaining 25% are international, maintaining a gender equality policy. The fair also promotes an international day for professionals, with interest in works being developed in South America, and 'showcase' sessions for the presentation of new projects.
One of the fair's future challenges is to continue its growth to become the most relevant circus fair in southern Europe, making Reus an unmissable reference point for both the public and programmers and artists.
