SYNOPSIS
"Soup or on with the wind" is a circus performance which casts a tragi-comic gaze over a series of Christmas dinners within the same family, from generation to generation, and at the traditions, habits, absences, life experiences and memories that make us who we are.
Year after year at the same table, by the same window, the same recipe, the same tree, the same carols, the same wind outside.
As the meals unfold at a pace in keeping with the season, we see a reflection of ourselves in this unfamiliar family.
"Soup" is the fruit of a collective creative process which has been forged throughout 2019, with residencies at L'Estruch, La Central del Circ, and the Ateneu Popular theatre, featuring five performers - Agnès Sales, Gines Belchi, Gwenn Buczkowski, Marta Camuffi and Mila Martínez - and six distinct disciplines - cloud swing, tight rope, hair hang, acrobatics, trapeze, and flow acrobatics including break dance.
