SYNOPSIS
After 10 years of intense circus-training and street-performance experience in more than 15 countries, Ivan Alone Circoactivo captures the essence of his life’s passion in an innovative and participatory circus extravaganza.
With nothing more than a five-meter pole, a bucket, a microphone and overalls, Ivan-the-Clown brings the audience onto his stage to achieve his objective: fabricate a floating circus that captivates spectators only to mystify them with a spectacular finale.
Ivan-the-Clown demonstrates the awkwardness of playing with real problems even as he displays the technical virtuosity of an artist. Incredulously, Ivan-the-Clown defies gravity with a dancer’s fluidity and an acrobat´s audacity.
Ivan’s performance is the crossroads of the clown’s absurdity and the gymnast’s gracefulness.
Circoactivo is guaranteed to leave you and your friends speechless.
launched in 2008, 2009.
