Psirc

Psirc: circus in exploration.

The company was founded in 2011. Their first show, Acrometria, toured for 10 years across Europe and Latin America, visiting 12 countries and surpassing 200 performances. It received the Night Show Award at FETEN, the Freiburger Leiter at the Kulturbörse Freiburg 2016, the Premi Zirkolika 2012 for Best Emerging Company and the FAD 2013 Award for Emerging Creation.

In April 2018 they premiered El meu nom és Hor, with Wanja and Adrià directed by Rolando San Martín, exploring new techniques and languages, including puppetry. Co-produced by Mercat de les Flors and supported by the European project De mar a mar, it was the only Spanish company featured in Occitanie fait son cirque at the Festival d’Avignon 2023.

In 2022 they presented the saga Després de tot, co-produced by the Festival Grec de Barcelona, La Grainerie, Nilak and Fira Trapezi Reus. The pieces premiered at Mercat de les Flors (Festival Circ d’ara mateix), Teatre Nacional de Catalunya (Festival ZIP) and Teatre Ovidi Montlló (Festival Grec).

The last piece of Després de tot premiered in 2023 at Gevleugelde Stad Ieper (Belgium) and at the Festival Trapezi de Reus; it is the result of the previous research and was conceived to be performed in public space, earning several recognitions.

They are currently working on new creations (2025–27): Coses petites (led by Adrià Montaña, premiered in July 2025), Circ de Llauna (led by Benet Jofre) and La casa intempèrie (led by Wanja Kahlert and Anna Pascual).

Their centre of gravity is a love for beauty, humour, mystery and for an art that senses a reality beyond the human scale.

La casa intempèrie

Residency March, May and July 2026

Two acrobatic portés artists, world-renowned in contemporary circus, experience an earthquake in the middle of their performance.
They suddenly find themselves helpless, without a show, without a house, without a home. After acknowledging the pain of the wounds they have received, both in body and soul, the disaster’s health authorities force them to use clowning in order to heal.

They become aware of their existential failure: they are absurdly trapped inside a space with invisible walls —a cage for narcissistic mimes who no longer remember what it means to love. Desperate, they look for a way to escape this glass urn. Problematic humour is served. Does an outside to the reality we live in actually exist? Do we need a door to get out, or to get in? Where is the exit: outside or inside?

Out in the open of this abyssal interior, two clowns attempt, with 2,000 tent poles, to build a house to save themselves. A surprising show for adults, in which children can explain to their grandparents what love is.

LA CASA INTEMPÈRIE is a performance for 2 acrobatic clowns who try to build a shelter out of 2,000 camping-tent poles. Using clowning as a metaphor, they reflect on the human need to build a refuge in which to take cover. The clown inhabits this space of invisible walls —the liminal state between the death of one world and the construction of the next— and wanders among the ruins of memory in search of the patch that will help to raise a new one.
