Summer Nights will open on Thursday 2 of July with the "Night of circus and games", a multidisciplinary night that reminds us that balance does not consist of not falling, but to continue playing with gravity. With this idea, the circus and the game will come together to transform the center into a space full of life, surprises and impossible balances. CaixaForum Valencia will offer this shared and exciting experience, aimed especially at the family audience, with shows, concerts and workshops to put coordination into practice, the stress and the flexibility.
In this same line, The Auditorium will host the show Outpatient, from the Valencian company La Fam, awarded with the MAX Award 2025 to the best production, the FETEN Award 2024 to the best circus show and the Valencian Performing Arts Award 2023 to the best circus show. With live music, will take the stage 10 artists who will deploy many and various circus techniques at the highest level of execution. This proposal, directed by acclaimed circus director Adrian Schvarzstein, is a tribute to the last classical circuses of the beginning of the 20th century.
Attendees can continue the circus circuit enjoying the show Embolic, from the Pau Palaus company, a gesture clown ride, play and imagination for all audiences. From a tangle of threads and emotions, the show invites you to untie knots through laughter, the look and complicity with the public.
Another of the activities created especially for these Summer Nights is Loop! Inhabit the rhythm of the game, of the company Prohibited Do Not Touch. This is an installation aimed at a family audience (children up to 5 years) and inspired by a circus curtain that offers a sensory play space for the little ones. In the same way, those who want to enter the world of the circus firsthand can try the open workshops of different circus disciplines, such as the balancing and juggling organized by the contemporary and participatory circus company The Herrerita.
In addition to these proposals, there will be an itinerant music concert that will open the session with La Trocamba Matranusca, an instrumental formation from the central Valencian regions in which the Balkan fanfare and folk come together with touches of swing or jazz, the explosiveness of klezmer and an electronics point. And we will continue with music by learning to play a ukulele with the workshop he will teach Save King, compositor, ukulele player and cultural agitator. Beyond his activity as a singer-songwriter, Arranjador and singer of The Pinker Tones, during the last years Salva has carried out a parallel activity: teaching music through the ukulele, instrument of which he is a great expert.
