FiRCO is the Ibero-American Circus Festival. Already consolidated as a benchmark festival on the international scene, FIRCO returns to the ring to celebrate its seventh edition and continue working on its objectives: to promote and consolidate high-level circus in Latin America. Aware of the great talent that this region treasures and the extraordinary way of understanding the show of its people, Circontinentes SL organizes this event with the same enthusiasm, ready to show the world the Latin American talent.

FiRCO will take place from October 4 to 6 at the Teatro Circo Price in Madrid, the largest stable circus in the country, living history of the sector, the best possible continent for an event of these characteristics.

FiRCO is the only festival focused on Ibero-America, celebrating a great event with 9 artistic proposals of different disciplines selected among the 23 countries of this region. The event will consist of a circus gala that we will be able to enjoy during 3 consecutive days. In these galas, the artists compete against each other and before a specialized jury, which will decide on the best proposals that will compete for the awards that will be presented after Sunday’s gala. All this presented by actress Raquel Molano and enlivened by the live music of the Ombligo Band.

FiRCO is more than a festival, so during its development parallel events will be held as a market between industry professionals and artists.

The 7th edition of FiRCO is supported by Teatro Circo Price / Madrid City Council, the Ministry of Culture, the Community of Madrid, Iberescena and the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan; and the participation of Crea SGR.
It is funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
In addition to collaboration with important companies in the circus sector such as Circo del Sol and Stage Lync.
