The risk of knives tensions Cutting edge technology, premiere of Diminuto Circus and the company Mareoo. There a trio of acrobats move between a bicycle, a wooden plank and knives.

The work rescues two classic circus techniques, the acrobatic bicycle and knife throwing, placing them in a new context. Despite its name, there is no cutting-edge technology in the work, only simple elements, without “lighting paraphernalia, effects or large devices, to achieve a beautiful and good show with simplicity,” explains Camilo y Mara from Diminuto Circus.

The audience will see the bodily entanglements and unravelings that occur one after another in this moving vehicle.

The Saturday and Sunday performances will be preceded by "Riamos-nos del Yo", a small-format circus act, performed by Clown Menso, which was selected to be part of GAM's Spring Circus cycle, in conjunction with the Diminutocircus company and the National Council of Culture and the Arts.

The intervention of this clown aims to make the viewer reflect on actions that seem ridiculous and clumsy, but are a reflection of situations that can happen to anyone.
