La Central del Circ
La Central del Circ is a creation, research, training, rehearsal and ongoing training for circus arts professionals from all backgrounds and disciplines. La Central is part of Barcelona City’s network of creation factories. La Central del Circ’s mission is to support circus professionals and accompany their projects in the areas of rehearsals, creation, management and dissemination. Another objective is to enhance the sector and the knowledge exchange amongst the circus artists and collectives as well as promoting the interrelationship through local, national and international networks. La Central del Circ also fosters a broad comprehension of the circus creation as an artistic discipline which questions and reinterprets the contemporary reality.
Territorio Violeta
Territorio Violeta is a multidisciplinary festival focusing on the journey that society and the performing arts, in particular, make in favour of equality. Violet is since long ago the colour of feminism, thus we use this colour to talk about equality. Using the current symbology that relates women with pink and blue with men, and taking the common ground of the colour mixture, we play with violet as the common place of equality, where we will not get if there is no complicity between the two genres.
