SOPLA!
As a small-format company, we never miss the opportunity to join forces with fellow artists to create large-scale shows.
Time has passed, but they are together again, celebrating. Leaving behind fears and limitations, each performer showcases their many charms—true feats. Five dancing diabolo players, a forest of ropes, a bike duel, a helicopter with hands and feet, balls with unstoppable rhythm. Some fly high while others hit the ground to dodge relentless juggling. A lively party with music and a mysterious, illustrious guest. A reunion full of unsettling, funny, boring, and bewildering moments.
Sopla! is a state, an atmosphere, a pink liquid, confetti.
Sopla! is a project by Truca Circus, in collaboration with Lanördika and Hermanos Inconfundibles.
It is a large-scale contemporary circus show for all audiences, featuring a wide variety of circus techniques, live music, festive atmosphere, dance, songs, and plenty of humor.

SYNOPSIS
“LUDO CIRCUS SHOW” is the embodiment of the spirit of play through circus.
LUDO is an atmosphere; a playful state of mind.
When seven characters step onto the stage eager to play, winners and losers emerge, along with intentional and accidental collisions, harmony and disillusionment, fun, teamwork, and individualism.
Recognizable games are intertwined with circus techniques such as teeterboard, balances, acrobatics, and juggling. Is circus itself a game?
A reflection on familiar situations that take us on a journey through personal experiences.
At some point, in some place, we have all played. Or perhaps we never stopped…
