CNAC (French national center for circus arts)

This year, the Centre national des arts du cirque's thirty-first end-of-course performance will be staged by Galapiat Cirque, just over ten years after they themselves were founded at this very same French National Circus School. The cheerful and tightly-knit troupe has since earned considerable acclaim: charming performances, tours by bicycle or in caravans, territory-based projects, firm roots in Brittany and undeniable recognition from peers and public alike. The wheel turns and there we have the old embracing the new, for a creation that combines teeterboard, aerial rope, acro-dance, juggling, aerial hoop, Chinese pole, cloud swing, Cyr wheel and flying trapeze.
