📖 About the performance

In "Paperezko zirkua", the circus unfolds its magic through tightrope walkers, magicians, strongmen and women, clowns, and the active involvement of the audience. The interwoven tales highlight the importance of self-belief and recognising personal worth, conveying human values such as mutual support, friendship, and collaboration.

This oral storytelling cycle revives the ancient tradition of passing tales by word of mouth to introduce them to young children. Spoken words blend with songs, objects, images, and sensory experiences to bring forward stories focused on friendship, diversity, love, and curiosity.
