WHO WE ARE
Compañía de Circo “eia” (Unforetold Flights in Harmony, élans imprévus accordés in French, ‘yes’ in Sardinian) was born in 2009 when several established circus artists decided to come 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).
With 15 years of collective experience, six active creations and more than 800 performances across 25 countries, Compañía de Circo “eia” have staked its position as one of the foremost contemporary circus companies in Catalonia, Spain and Europe. At the center of its creations there is a human circus, capable of evoking the complexity of human relationships.
