HOP SANT ADRIÀ: CIRCUS AND DANCE IN THE VILA

Hop Sant Adrià is a programme of performances and activities related to circus, dance and urban culture, mural art and music, designed for all audiences.

Hosted by Jordi Montaner, the event will feature circus and dance performances including ‘Desorientat’ by Guga Carvalho, ‘Memòria de Peix’ by Cia. Memòria de Peix and Capoeira Ginga Mundo.

JORDI MONTANER – MASTER OF CEREMONIES:

A charismatic and lively master of ceremonies. With his contagious energy, sense of humour and great ability to connect with the audience, Jordi will bring voice and rhythm to the event. If you see him with the microphone, don’t miss him — he’s sure to make you laugh!

GUGA – ‘DESORIENTAT’:

In ‘Desorientat’, Guga brings to life a stressed-out executive who, after breaking his phone while trying to find an address, sees the only information he needs get stuck at the top of a streetlight. From there, a hilarious adventure begins, filled with mishaps, falls and absurd situations. Through physical comedy, acrobatics and gestural theatre, the performance transforms a minor setback into a full-blown comic odyssey. A contemporary circus show for all audiences that combines skill, imagination and plenty of laughter.

Guga Carvalho is a renowned Brazilian circus artist with an extensive international career. He has worked with companies such as Los Galindos, Circ Cric, Los Gingers and La Fam, developing a stage language that combines acrobatics, humour and physical theatre for all audiences.

CIA. MEMÒRIA DE PEIX – ‘MEMÒRIA DE PEIX’:

‘Memòria de Peix’ features two characters who, inspired by the memory of their fisherman grandparents, create a poetic and humorous universe using everyday objects. Combining circus, juggling, clowning and object manipulation, they bring imaginary stories and creatures to life, evoking memory, play and maritime traditions in a surreal, tender and imaginative performance.

Cia. Memòria de Peix, formed by Gastón Sánchez and Tomás Taboada, was created in 2024 through the natural meeting of two artists with extensive experience. They have shared cabarets, festivals and circus, music and theatre projects across Europe and Latin America. Their work draws on clowning, dance and contemporary circus, always seeking to create emotion and a sense of closeness with the audience.

GINGA MUNDO CAPOEIRA PERFORMANCE:

Capoeira Ginga Mundo will offer a showcase of the strength, rhythm and energy of capoeira, a discipline that combines dance, music, acrobatics and martial arts of Afro-Brazilian origin. The Capoeira Ginga Mundo group, based in Sant Adrià de Besòs for more than fifteen years, will present a 10-minute performance highlighting this cultural expression and its roots in the local community.
