Program Fira B! 2021
Àvol
Coproducció Circ Bover-Teatre Principal de Palma
Mallorca
Àvol vindicates the figure of the artist through four characters who meet, suddenly, with the need to reinvent themselves. The situation that ensues transports them to a scenic universe created from bamboo sticks and ropes. Overcoming new challenges leads them to develop previously hidden skills. Together they explore artistic creation and establish a dialogue with the audience about identity and the feeling of belonging. The work is a comic and reflective manifestation in relation to the current role of culture through the contemporary circus. Circ Bover ends a five-year cycle of research with bamboo and its possibilities applied to the circus. During this time, the company has premiered Vincles, Nòmades, Sentinel and culminates with Àvol. A research work that has been awarded nationally and internationally and that has provided the company with more than four hundred functions around the world.

2005
Genre: Circus
Circ Bover is a professional circus company which launched in 2005 the initiative to disseminate the circus arts in the Balearic Islands, a non-existent tradition until then.
Since its beginnings, Circ Bover had the support of the cultural sector and the audience of the Balearic Islands, who follows with hope and excitement each new production or activity carried out by the company. Currently, once the company has already achieved recognition and good reputation in its territory, it is working to increase its presence away from home, at national and international level.
The company produces original shows of their own creation and also offers other services and activities: educational circus workshops, parades, shows on demand, small shows and events. All products are of the highest artistic quality.
Also, Circ Bover has a commitment to competence and to creating new artists and companies in order to create a rich and high-quality market for the circus. Therefore they are promoting the creation of an Association of Professional Circus of the Balearic Islands and the program of artists residents at the Centre de Circ, located in Sineu-Mallorca. Finally, the company is the ambassador of Payasos Sin Fronteras of the Balearic Islands since 2007.
