Circo El Grito was founded in Brussels in 2007 through the meeting of Fabiana Ruiz Diaz and Giacomo Costantini. Regarded by the press as pioneers of contemporary circus in Italy, the company draws from the clearest traditions of circus arts, renewing them in a contemporary context to present performances that blend circus, music, dance, magic, theatre, and literature.

El Grito has been recognized by the Belgian Ministry of Culture, collaborated with the French Ministry of Culture, and in 2015 became the first contemporary circus company to be officially accredited by the Italian Ministry of Culture. It was later acknowledged as of Primary Regional Interest (PIR) by the Marche Region.

With fifteen shows to its name and over 2000 performances across Europe, Circo El Grito is a powerful engine of experimentation. Fueled by the unstoppable curiosity of contemporary circus, it explores the realms of dance, theatre, music, and literature.

Un Amour en Couleur
A playful exploration of the colors of the human soul in a cold and commercial age, it's a journey back to the purity of childhood. The project experiments with a flexible, comic language that sparks wonder and brings circus to life through the virtuosity of aerial acrobat Fabiana Ruiz Diaz, the provocative clowning of Jorge Albuerne, and the skillful juggling of Felipe Flores.
Three performers — accompanied by the live music of Fabio Guandalini, who takes an active part in the performance — are on a quest for something humanity has long lost: the spontaneous happiness of the present moment.
The show weaves together the playful interactions of the three circus artists and the colors they embody, moving quite literally along a tightrope of music that doesn't simply accompany but engages in dialogue with the action.

In close connection with the language of theatre, the performance unfolds a narrative of the eternal conflict between darkness and light, dramatizing — through three-body compositions and choreographies — the very absence of color in today's world.

Fabiana Ruiz Diaz is the co-artistic director of Grito and of SIC/Stabile di Innovazione Circense. A master of aerial work and a circus artist at heart, she safeguards tradition without being bound by it, always in search of a poetic essence — that liminal space where our anxieties meet our extraordinary possibilities.
