PSIRC

Wanja Kahlert (Anlès, 1994) and Anna Pascual (Barcelona, 1983) are part of the company PSIRC (Barcelona, 2011), which is a contemporary circus company that since its beginnings has been exploring new ways of making circus today.

Starting with an aesthetic and technical exploration of the acrobatic body, research has led the company to look at other factors that influence the dramaturgy such as the composition of the space, the lighting and the musicality. This has led us not only to put the body on stage, but also to take part in creative projects from other roles, such as directing, lighting, dramaturgy and scenography.

Thus, we try to identify our own language, without losing sight of our inevitable inscription in a historical, social and scenic context, and to understand how, from our particular vision, we can contribute to the collective evolution/re-definition of the performing arts.
