Aurora Caja

She has shown an interest in art from an early age, particularly drawing. She studied Visual Arts at Escola Massana in Barcelona and Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona.

She continued her training at Flic Scuola di Circo in Turin, Italy, where she specialised in handstands. Her first project was entitled En Perill d'Extinció (2016).

She has taken part in performing arts research laboratories with professionals such as Semolina Tómic, Jean Michael Guy, Volmir Cordeiro, Roberto Magro, Marta Torrents, Eva Ordoñez, Cristian Coumin, Pau Portabella, Florent Bergal and Lucas Condró.

In 2018, she began creating her first show, No verbal. In October 2021, she took part in the FOCON training programme at Ésacto'Lido (École Supérieure des Arts du Cirque Toulouse-Occitanie, France).

In 2022, she presented No verbal o la pàgina en blanc, an in situ creation in the form of a parcours at Museu Picasso in Barcelona. The piece was part of the Creació i Museus programme and, produced by La Central del Circ and Museu Picasso, was included in the programme of the Festival Grec de Barcelona.

That same year, La Red Española de Teatros included No verbal in its fifth catalogue of recommended circus shows. In 2023, the show premiered under the big top of the Nilak collective. Since its premiere, No verbal has toured various national and international festivals and cultural contexts.

In 2024–2025, she performed in Mundo Mundial (Circo de Sur a Sur 3), co-produced by La Grainerie (Toulouse, France)

    Institut Doctor Puigvert is located right next to where the Carretera de Trinitat meets the Besòs River. It first opened in 1985, although the current building was not inaugurated until 1991-92. The school's governing board decided to name it Institut Doctor Puigvert in memory of urologist Antoni Puigvert (1905-1990), whose childhood was closely linked to Sant Andreu.
