In an in-between space, five characters meet and inhabit the boundary between who they are and what might happen. As they move forward and their paths intertwine, the bonds they forge bring to light what each of them had kept silent.
A poetic and acrobatic exploration of the inexorable passage of time and the transformations it brings about. With five acrobats on stage, *Secrets* seeks to reveal and highlight the things we often hide. It all unfolds within a set design that reveals a world full of twists and turns, of unknowns, of elements and structures that appear and transform, just like us.
What if time were to end? What would we ask of our last shooting star?

“eia” Circus Company
The “eia” Circus Company (short for “élans imprévus accordés” in French, meaning “yes” in Sardinian) was founded in 2009 through the merger of several artists: Armando Rabanera, Fabrizio Giannini, and Cristiano Della Monica (Cirque Vague, Circo de la Sombra, and Le Grand Osim Orchestra) and Francesca Lissia and Celso Pereira (Celso y Frana).
With 16 years of experience as a collective, six original productions, and more than 900 performances in 25 countries, the “eia” Circus Company has established itself as a leading force in the Catalan and Spanish contemporary circus scene. At the heart of its productions lies a human-centered circus, capable of evoking the complexity of human relationships.
“In an era where difference is often seen as a problem, we seek to turn our unique qualities into a strength and a source of richness through truly collaborative work, reflecting the color and diversity of today’s world. ”
