Chapéus na Rua is a street and circus arts festival which, over a few days, will flood the parish of Arroios with jugglers, acrobats, clowns, puppets, living statues and much more than you could possibly imagine! A programme for the whole family which deals with delicate topics lightly.

CINZA
CINZA street show is a static street show aimed at all ages which is full of joy, games and improvisations from clown TiCoSi – an eccentric, energetic and “crazy” street sweeper with the sense of humour of a buffoonish clown, whose stage is the street and who uses his skills to do magic.

CINE BIKE
The Cine Bike offers a unique cinematic experience: a cinema operated with the energy generated by a bicycle. There are no other sources of energy in this portable and sustainable cinema, which will show an exhibition of short films.

CRISÁLIDA
“Crisálida” is a circus project about gender issues. The dialectic of this work is related to the demystification of gender categories, based on the existentialist themes of Nietzche, Sart [MJ(1] and Golffman. “Crisálida” is also about love, a hymn to life.

CRISÁLIDA MasterClass
Guided by the artist and creator of the piece, this masterclass challenges us to reflect on the plurality of a creative process. Aimed at acrobats and onlookers, this meeting proposes new ways of building narratives that have the body as a central element.

COM (SEQUÊNCIA)
A communion between architecture and the circus, with acrobatics and dance as discourse. In this dialogue, we propose to question the idea of “meeting”.

VEJO-TE
Humour, irony, reflection and acrobatics in a family show. The show stems from the idea of putting artists and audiences inside a person's head and using these combined forces as a mechanism to reveal the structure of a person's thought, mind and inner world. The narrative thread is created by a voice-over that represents the reflections and conflicts of our own battles.

CRISÁLIDA
“Crisálida” is a circus project about gender issues. The dialectic of this work is related to the demystification of gender categories, based on the existentialist themes of Nietzche, Sart and Golffman. The creator of this piece is interesting developing ideas such as the being as an individual, the social being and the creation of new concepts that foster the discontinuity of human nature. “Crisálida” is also about love, a hymn to life.
