Escarlata Circus, established by Jordi Aspa and Bet Miralta in the 1980s, is a circus company with its own unique personality. The company creates shows for the street, the big top and unusual and unconventional venues. They have directed and led projects and events in small and large formats, including El gegant dels 7 mars. They have taken their pieces around Europe and the world, and have formed part of the creative team at Trapezi, the Circus Festival of Catalonia, and were its artistic directors for the first fifteen years that this event took place.

In recognition of their work and career, spanning fifteen years, they have received the Government of Catalonia’s National Prize for Circus at Trapezi and the Spanish Ministry of Culture’s National Prize for Circus, also at Trapezi, as well as an Applause Award in the Sebastià Gasch Prizes for their show Pugilatus.
