Contemporary circus festival
The weekend of the contemporary circus festival started in Riga and will continue in full swing until Thursday – festival “Re Rīga!”.
You can also experience how the circus team from Spain “Lapso Cirk” challenges the laws of gravity and themselves. Meanwhile, British circus artists “Fauna” will share a performance that is still in its infancy, in which the “magnifying glass” will allow you to see the otherwise seemingly small wonders of the natural world. In turn, the Catalan duo “Amer i Àfrica” in the show for the whole family in 250 kilograms of fresh hay will play on human relationships, surprising with humor and acrobatic skills.
After the festival performances, talks with artists are also expected.
