arts & culture

Antic Teatre this month presents C%RC, a collaborative project between four artists working in contemporary circus arts. Under the direction of Jorge Albuerne, the Oviedo-born artist who has spent two decades working in the world of circus, swinging between Spain, Mexico and Argentina, the group offer four seductive, suggestive performances, each filling these summer nights with astounding skills and surprises.

More than a show, however, C%RC is a laboratory where months of research and artistic experiments come to fruition. Created in collaboration between Antic Teatre and La Central del Circ, the circus arts center based at the Fòrum, the project has spent residencies at both locations, enjoying artistic and technical support from both. Terms like “contemporary creation,” “new languages,” “emerging,” “innovative”… none of it can quite do C%RC justice. Come and see for yourself.
