Delve into a world of fantasy and emotions, in the circus

' Ladies and gentlemen. Boys and girls. Welcome to the greatest show in the world! '. Surely when reading these words, one thing will have come to your mind: the circus. And there is something magical in these words that when listening to them inside a tent, we all know that what we will see next will be more than just a show. They are the gateway to a fantasy world that leaves no one indifferent, neither the adults nor the little ones in the house.

And it is that the circus is the king of the performing arts. A perfect combination of light and sound, choreography and theatre, dance and impossible acrobatics, humor and drama... capable of awakening a thousand and one emotions: fun, intrigue, surprise, joy.

Although the type of shows offered in the circus has changed and evolved throughout history, it has always had the same will: culture and popular entertainment. From ancient China and Mesopotamia, cradles of the first acrobatic and contortionist shows, to the contemporary circus with exquisite staging and aesthetics, going through the Greeks, the creators of the word 'circus', and the Romans, with the races of chariots, freak shows and animal shows from the 19th and 20th centuries, now banned.

In Catalonia, the production and presence of circus shows continues to be one of the most important in the State, gaining more and more visibility, notoriety and spectators, proving that the circus is not just a fad, but rather a more than consolidated show.

From reference festivals such as the International Festival of the Golden Elephant Circus in Girona to annual events such as the Christmas Circus that is installed in different locations, going through classic tours such as the Raluy Circus or the Italian Circus, the offer related to the circus does not end here. Since 2020, this world has its own unique museum in Europe, the Circusland, in Besalú, with a collection of more than 60,000 pieces related to the history, evolution and importance of the circus in the world.

From femturisme.cat we encourage you to enter and let yourself get lost in this world of magic and fantasy.
