The quota of international companies increases and the circus gains specific and symbolic weight in the next edition of Sagunt a Escena. and for show, a button: will open the festival Memphis Rock & circus [25/7], of The Window We Circ, with juggling, stunts, aerials and humor to the rhythm of rock & roll live. However, THE circus show with capital letters comes from France from the hand of cie. The forgotten And it's called The fall of the specified [15/8], this is, “the fall of angels”. It is a dystopia that mixes circus, danza, theater and cinematographic universe to address topics such as ecology, current society and humanity. One day after the official opening we will enter the Roman theater of Sagunto for the first time to see the first completely Castellón production of the Institut Valencia of Culture (IVC), entrusted to the playwright Núria Vizcarro. dream [26/7] It is a very free adaptation of Summer night Dream by William Shakespeare that takes place in an area near the sea of Castelló, and deals with universal themes such as love, sex or the need to feel loved.
In addition to France, we will have two other countries invited. Uruguay, with his National Ballet Sodre, sneaks into the programming through a very Spanish character, Don Quijote of La Mancha. Don Quixote of Silver [6/8] It is a work inspired by the union of the figure of the ingenious hidalgo with that of the Uruguayan Arturo E. Xalambrí, a passionate and eccentric character, responsible for preserving one of the largest collections of Cervantes books in Latin America in Montevideo. With music by great composers who based their scores on the quixotic universe, This ballet comes to Sagunt direct from the Almagro Classical Theater Festival. The other foreign accent It is oriental and put itin the Japanese percussionists of the Yamato company at the show Passion [11/8]. Y uA guest that is never missing—last year it took up a good part of the programming—is the Mérida festival, that as always, serves us the most dishes juicys. They aim: Ernesto Caballero in the authorship, Mario Gas as director and Josep María Pou as protagonist (the last two work together again after Socrates). The piece is called Old friend Cicero [8-9/10] and focuses on the figure of the famous Roman orator who personified the moral integrity of someone who maintains the coherence of his political convictions even in the most adverse circumstances.. Two last recommendations within the Roman theater: the concert of Mastodon [22/8] and flamenco opera Dancing with Carmen [31/8] by the Valencian Óscar de Manuel, first flutist to win the Filón Prize (for instrumentalists) of the Cante de las Minas festival, in charge of closing the festival on Saturday 7 of September.
