The 26th edition of Trapezi, the Fira de Circ Internacional de Catalunya, has already landed in Reus. This year's fair, which runs until Sunday May 15, proposes a program that bets on thirty national and international companies, from countries such as Canada, France or Brazil, to show the best novelties of the sector in the sixty representations which in total will take place at different points in the city of Reus.

The inauguration ceremony, held this Wednesday, was given by Daniel Recasens, Councilor for Culture of Reus City Council; Leandro Mendoza, artistic director of Trapezi, Lourdes Malgrat, Delegate of Culture of the Generalitat de Catalunya; Noemí Llauradó, president of the Tarragona Provincial Council and Carles Pellicer, mayor of Reus, and has shown Trapezi's enthusiasm for being a reflection of the talent of today's contemporary circus.

The act has also had the collaboration of the artist Yldor Llach. On the other hand, the EIA circus company has presented Nuye at the Teatre Batrina, a show made up of six acrobats that arises from the exploration of the various dynamics of couple relationships.
