Manifesto
The circus is Culture, with a capital letter. One of the most historic performing arts and, at the same time, one of the most modern and transversal. A total spectacle that in each issue shows the limits of the physical capacities of the human being in exercises full of beauty that, in addition, tell stories that move us. A discipline in constant evolution and capable of moving different generations in different ways.
FiRCO is the event of reference for the Latin circus community on both sides of the Atlantic and the best showcase for companies that want to develop their work in Europe and the world. The meeting point for all those artists who are renewing the language of circus, filling it with rhythm, integrity and purity. That is why FiRCO is unique and necessary.
At FiRCO we believe that the circus is built in common and that is why we create the environment and the necessary tools so that everyone, both the public and the artists who come from the 23 Ibero-American countries, are part of a community that advances our common passion. FiRCO is a unique experience for the participants, an occasion to show their talent to experts and professionals from Europe and an opportunity to fully experience the true spirit of conviviality and brotherhood of the circus.
FiRCO is three days of world-class circus performances in shows presented by the fantastic multidisciplinary artist Raquel Molano and with live music by the Ombligo Orquestina. An event that attracts both families and a young and loyal audience, eager to be amazed, excited and have a great time watching and voting for the best numbers of the Ibero-American panorama.
Because it shows the best new numbers of the Ibero-American circus. Because it attracts new audiences who discover their new passion for the circus. Because it helps to consolidate Madrid’s relevance in the national and international circus scene and to promote its development in the city and the region. FiRCO is the future because it conceives and proposes the circus and culture in general as disciplines of encounter and development based on common values that make us better.
