septiembre 8, 2017 By news Comments Off
From September 15 to 27, Alicante will host a unique festival with a special and different vision of the circus world. Circarte is circus understood as an art in which there is no human or animal exploitation. A means of expression and fusion between cultures.

The Circarte festival is an event you can not miss if in the next few weeks you are visiting Alicante. This year the show is celebrating its eighth edition, with theater, acrobatics, batukadas and various workshops for children. The program will be carried out in different venues: Alicante, El Campello, Sant Joan d’Alacant and the University of Alicante (in San Vicente del Raspeig). You can easily reach to all these sites y by car or public transport, from your accommodation in Be Alicante.

Circarte brings together artists of the highest level, from all over the world, with a program that mixes styles such as aerial dance, magic, artistic projections, and of course the juggling and acrobatics so characteristic of the circus. Everything, accompanied by music and a spectacular atmosphere. Among the companies that will arrive in Alicante to act are the circus trouppe Fekat Circus of Ethiopia, the clowns of La Bella Tour and the companies from Alicante La Trócola Circ and Lucas Locus.
