THE COMPANY

Looking for Gods

From the space occupied by aerial circus techniques, Circo Mínimo extracted the basic concepts of its work: precision as a need for safety, collective responsibility and trust between players.

Ever since its creation, in 1988, the identity of the Company is deeply connected to those techniques and signs, turned into a way of working, and justified  by  the  content  of the works  in  its  repertoire,  plays that make  clear  the  unity  of  Circo  Mínimo's  exploration.

Intimately related, search of perfection and solitude are the main themes of the repertoire. By search of perfection the Company understands an attempt to approach the Gods, rather than technical perfection. But any human attempt to get close to 'Gods' exposes the mundane side of man: his (her) solitude, fragility, difficulty in communication,  even  if  those are  steps  towards  the  search of  the  divine.

To overcome those limits takes perception of the  individual,  and  knowledge  of  the  collective.

By mixing theatre and circus, Circo Mínimo creates live performance connecting technique and content, depth and lightness, routes and transformation, entertainment and questioning material.
