Auch, France is the capital of the circus for about ten days. Auch, in the Gers, has been hosting the 35th edition of the current Circus festival since October 20. A series of shows and workshops are scheduled for young and old until Saturday, October 29.

The highlight of the current Circus festival in Auch promises to be “Traversée”, a large participatory show offered free of charge on Sunday October 23 at 4:30 p.m. at the Parc de la Boubée. “It will be the culmination of several weeks of residency in the Garros district! In immersion for several periods since October 2021, the team of the Basinga company (artists, musicians, technicians, etc.) met and shared workshops with the inhabitants and local actors: music, sewing, initiation to walking on a wire… All together, they will give life to this great tightrope crossing in the heart of the district! “, announce the organizers.
