Circus and human relationships

Compañía de Circo “eia” began its journey in May 2009,  when several established circus artists came together: Armando Rabanera, Fabrizio Giannini and Cristiano Della Monica (Cirque Vague, Circo de la Sombra and Le Grand Osim Orchestra) and Francesca Lissia and Celso Pereira (Celso y Frana). Today we keep the same hope and motivation that united us: to create a circus that place at its center the importance of human relationships.

During this time, we have created six shows (CAPAS, inTarsi, Espera, La Pranza! NUYE and La Piedra de Madera), which have been seen across 25 countries in more than 800 performances. Through this collective experience we have created a great family, a groupe of people that grows and evolves thanks to new friendships and new collaborations.  Nowadays we are touring internationally our shows NUYE, Espera and La Piedra de Madera and we will start soon our next creation project, Secrets.

At the same time, we are opening up to new artistic and professional horizons, focused on the transmission and exchange of knowledge, through the accompaniment of emerging artists and companies, and through artistic direction for shows and events.

In all our shows and projects, we commit to create a human circus, which explores and highlights the complexity of human relationships, defending a free culture that makes us evolve as a community.

”In an era where difference is often seen as a problem, we seek to make our particularities a strength and a source of invention to be explored, as a reflection of the colour and variety of the world we live in.”

Compañía de Circo “eia” has been awarded with the Barcelona City Prize 2011 – Circus Category, for the show CAPAS, “for the risk taken in research and circus innovation”.

Compañía de Circo “eia” has been awarded with the MAX Award 2017 (id. Tony Award or Olivier Award), for the show inTarsi, as “Outstanding New Show”.

Compañía de Circo “eia”  has been awarded with the Critics Award 2017 for the show Espera.
