A contemporary circus show on vulnerability and trust
From 10 to 13 and 17 to 20 September 2026, Espacio Inestable will host 'Before the Fall', a contemporary circus piece by Barreto and La Victoria as part of the VIII Migrats Circ Festival. Five performers explore fragility, risk, and cooperation through acrobatics, juggling, knife-throwing, hand balancing, contemporary dance, and humour. The show, with a strong visual and emotional impact, aims to reveal the humanity behind each technical challenge, where mutual trust is as crucial as physical skill.
