An original, outdoor contemporary circus show for 250kg of straw and 125kg of human mass, full of action, subtlety, humour and surprises. 

In Catalan, the word ‘envà’ refers to a partition, or wall, which doesn’t allow us to communicate fully. In EVNÀ, acrobats Amer & Àfrica confront the barriers and mental walls that we construct in order to protect ourselves head-on, through hand-to-hand acrobatics and contact with bales of hay, which serve as climbing walls, springboards and crash mats. This is contemporary circus at the height of its powers, reminding us with wit and playfulness how much of our lives we spend in search of freedom when sometimes all we need to do is knock the wall down. 

WINTER STADIUM: Jungmannova 10, Žďár nad Sázavou

 
 

Amer & Àfrica circ cia (ES)

Amer & Àfrica met eight years ago in Barcelona. Together they have toured across Europe and participated in a number of festivals. In 2013 they won the Besmina prize and in 2017 participated in the Biennale Internationale des Arts du Cirque (BIAC) in Marseille. Àfrica Llorens comes from a professional background in karate, while Amer Kabbani’s background is in circus and clowning. Their collaboration fuses technique and precision with performance and acting, resulting in a dynamic style teeming with fresh insights. ENVÁ is their most ambitious project to date.
