Galas Circo Atayde

A family circus show from the Mexican company Circo Atayde, with a live orchestra, acrobatic acts and the presence of a clown, staged at the Teatro Circo Price in Madrid.

The programme brings together the company's traditional galas, a fusion of classic circus and a staging in a contemporary style. The performance combines high-altitude acts, various circus disciplines and magic, alongside a clown who provides the comic element of the programme.

The musical direction is in the hands of maestro Carlos Alberto Ramírez, with an orchestra playing live music throughout the performance. The stage direction is credited to Artús Chávez and Alfredo Atayde, a member of the fourth generation of a family that has devoted more than a century to the circus.

The show is conceived as an entertainment for the whole family, with no age restrictions. It is the first time this Mexican company has presented its work in Europe, in a programme that seeks to preserve the traditional values of the circus while renewing the way they are presented.
