Victoria Sickness

Circus artist, performer and educator based in Barcelona. Trained in Audiovisual Systems Engineering and later in Circus Arts at the Rogelio Rivel Centre for Circus Arts, she develops a practice that spans contemporary circus, performance, music and artistic research. Her work focuses on the body as a space of transformation and on the relationship between risk, memory and identity. Through disciplines such as Cyr wheel, acrobatics and performance, she explores new forms of stage language that engage with audiences and challenge conventions surrounding the body, gender and public space.

In 2022, she premiered Circografía d'una travesti, a contemporary circus piece that has toured various festivals and venues in Spain and Germany. She is currently developing a new creation project focused on travesti genealogies in the performing arts. Alongside her artistic practice, she has worked for several years as a circus educator with children, young people and adults. She sees pedagogy as a space for collective research, where movement, play and cooperation become tools for thinking and imagining together.
