6th Ibero-American Circus Festival

The sixth edition of FiRCO

It was held in collaboration with the Teatro Circo Price in Madrid on September 29, 30 and October 1, 2023.
It brought together 8 artistic proposals selected from 23 Ibero-American countries to compete and exhibit their new creations in front of a jury of international prestige.

This edition was supported by grants from the Community of Madrid and was notable for holding an international market where international artists and producers came into contact with each other.
