To learn about the different circus disciplines, in spaces for healthy recreation
“This Circus Festival allows us to strengthen the sector and show high-quality public shows that captivate the Costa Rican population to learn about the different circus disciplines, in spaces for healthy recreation and positive family exchange, as well as promoting the talent and development of national circus artists, their ventures and artistic productions,” said Alexander Cuadra, director of the Center for Artistic and Cultural Production (CPAC). In this edition there will be the participation of more than 23 circus groups, managing to benefit more than 50 artists.
“With this opportunity, we want to bring to different communities the learning process that many artists of the circus guild have had to bring a little joy and also bring the circus closer to the local development activities that are so important at this time for our country. So we would like to take advantage so that the entire national community can get closer to learn more about the circus artists and why not, enjoy the spaces that culture offers us. With this second edition of the Circuit, we want to fill each community with the magic, fun, and joy that characterizes the circus,” added Patricio Morera Víquez, executive director of Parque La Libertad.
