New for 2026 Girostatus – 4.30 pm Category: Diabolo

This year, to celebrate the festival’s 10th anniversary, we’re treating you to an extra show! Every day from Monday 11th to Thursday 13th August, you can enjoy a show at 4.30 pm!

An intimate, laid-back performance!

Girostatus (centrifugal passion) is a street circus show centred around a single object: the diabolo.

Brunitus, with over 25 years’ experience in the art of rotation and balance, transforms the performance into a driving force capable of uniting the energy of the artist and the audience in a single movement.

Through humour, poetry and dexterity, he shares a contagious passion that spreads outwards – like a centrifugal force – seeking to resonate with the audience’s own passion.

Thus, every performance becomes an emotional experience: what happens when the performer’s drive infects those watching?

This performance is free, but booking is compulsory.

Blending theatre, circus and slapstick humour, this show tenderly explores our failures, our doubts and our ability to carry on despite it all. A funny and touching fable that celebrates those ‘magnificent losers’ that we sometimes are.

Seated around a simple open-air café table, two men learn to coexist in a precarious paradise.
