"The Shadow of Gold": the new project from Circo de Sur a Sur arrives at the Cánovas Theater

Eight artists, seven nationalities, and one group. This is the introduction to the Circo de Sur a Sur project, which is presenting its new show, La sombra del oro on the 1st and 2nd of March at the A hall of the Teatro Cánovas.

This is a performance between the circus entities Truca Circus from Sevilla and La Grainerie from Toulouse, whose first edition was held in 2022 and represents a complete experience and a rich work process in an international context. The shows will be at 20:00 on Saturday and at 12:00 on Sunday.

La sombra del oro brings together eight international performers who create a collective imaginary on stage, generating a space of reverie where the circus is the medium to reveal new states.

The show is a search for the poetry of bodies and objects in space and is co-directed by Sevillian choreographer, performer, writer, and director Greta García and the French juggler, director, and trainer Morgan Cosquer, who propose a wide range of artistic techniques and resources on stage: from juggling to acrobatics, aerials, hair suspension, balancing acts, flamenco, and, of course, magic and theater.

The creation stems from two premises: play and the loss of judgment. A space of commitment to practice, listening, the present, where there is no past or future, and where the individual takes a backseat to give room to surprise, to the divine, to a place where chiaroscuros blur and magic unfolds.

It is the second of the shows created under the Circo de Sur a Sur project, a project that connects two circus entities from the south of Spain and the south of France and promotes a rich work process and exchange of methodologies in an international context.

Theater for babies

On the other hand, the company from Malaga La Perrera returns to hall B of the renovated Teatro Cánovas with Dadadá. The shows will be on the 1st, 2nd, 8th, and 9th of March with performances at 18:00 on Saturdays and at 12:00 on Sundays. Above all, this is a show designed to capture the world of babies from birth to three years old based on disordered, impulsive, random experiences wrapped in sound, color, and sensations typical of what babies experience.
