EIRENÊ at the XIV Valencirc
On 11 October 2026, Jardins del Palau will transform into the stage for EIRENÊ, the contemporary circus show by La Trouple Malabó, programmed as part of the XIV Valencirc Festival. This free, open-air event is part of the cultural offering that fills Valencia with acrobatics, clowning, and bold performances every year.
La Trouple Malabó and their proposal
While specific details about EIRENÊ—such as its exact duration or the type of acts included—have not yet been released, La Trouple Malabó is a company known for blending circus, physical theatre, and performance. Their style is often characterised by visual storytelling, the use of everyday objects transformed into scenic elements, and an aesthetic that plays with the dreamlike and the absurd. In previous editions of ValenCirc, they have stood out for shows where physical humour and technical precision combine to create unique atmospheres.
The venue: Jardins del Palau
Jardins del Palau, located next to the Palau de la Música de Valencia, is an iconic space for open-air circus. With capacity for hundreds of spectators, its design—surrounded by greenery and with the Palau building as a backdrop—makes it an ideal setting for performances that seek to break the fourth wall and connect with the audience. For this edition of ValenCirc, the venue will also feature a bar service and food areas, as announced by the organisers, to extend the experience beyond the show.
The ValenCirc Festival 2026
The XIV Valencirc will take place from 7 to 12 October 2026, with a programme featuring over 50 free shows across various locations in the city, such as Alboraia, Paiporta, and the Centre Cultural La Nau. Jardins del Palau will host some of the festival’s most notable performances, particularly in the late afternoon and evening, blending family-friendly circus, extreme acrobatics, and experimental performances.
While the full programme has yet to be announced, previous editions have seen shows at this venue lasting between 50 and 70 minutes, with no age restrictions.
