After its recent run in Platja d'Aro, Raluy is bringing its new production, Terra , to Palafrugell, where it will run throughout August. The company, known for its style that blends traditional circus with innovative approaches, is thus maintaining its presence on the Costa Brava during the summer season, offering locals and visitors alike the chance to discover its latest creation under the iconic big top.
Terra, a montage with its own identity
Artistically directed by Rosa Raluy Chy, Terra unfolds as a tribute to the natural elements and the relationship between humankind and its environment. The show is structured in different scenes that evoke air, earth, water, and fire, using circus arts as a vehicle to convey sensations and emotions. The set design, lighting, and costumes have been designed to reinforce this atmosphere, with colors, textures, and visual compositions inspired by nature.
The show brings together a range of circus disciplines—aerial acrobatics, balancing, scales, choreography, and comedic moments—in a narrative that progresses with the support of live music, performed and adapted to each act to accentuate its character.
The cast comprises artists from diverse backgrounds, including performers specializing in aerial silks, trapeze, hula hoops, and floor acrobatics. Names like Kimberley and Jillian, the Raluy Sisters , Caroline Niemen, the Bokafi Trio , Aljosha Coatti, and Leona Mohacsi bring a variety of styles and techniques, accompanied by dancers such as Alina Holota and Elena Safronova. The humor is provided by clown Sandro Roque, while Jaume Vendrell plays live percussion. Master of ceremonies Aleix Gómez introduces and connects each act, and William Giribaldi is the stage manager.
The combination of technical skill and stage presence is accompanied by fluid transitions that maintain a balanced rhythm, suitable for a family audience. Running approximately two hours with a fifteen-minute intermission, Terra is designed so that each act fits into a coherent and visually appealing whole, without resorting to excessive effects, while maintaining the hallmark of quality and aesthetic care that characterizes the Circo Raluy Histórico.
Costa Brava and Raluy: a consolidated bond
Over the years, the Raluy Historic Circus has forged a strong connection with the Costa Brava . Towns like Palafrugell are part of a summer route that combines entertainment with the preservation of circus heritage. The Raluy tent not only hosts performances but also becomes a space that connects visitors with the history of the European circus through its restored wagons and meticulous aesthetic.
This continuity in programming has made the Raluy a cultural landmark in the area during the summer. Its ability to maintain the essence of the classic circus while introducing contemporary elements reinforces its appeal for both regular audiences and those visiting for the first time.
Throughout August, Terra will be performing several shows a week in Palafrugell , maintaining the artistic standards and commitment to quality that characterize the Circo Raluy Histórico. Details regarding schedules, prices, and ticket sales are available on their official channels, allowing you to plan your visit and enjoy a show that blends tradition with contemporary stagecraft.
