ANIMAL RELIGION

With Fang the circus artist Quim Girón proposes the union of the earth and the human body through the manipulation of clay onstage, taking us on a tour of a show full of unusual sculptures and forms. We see the process of transformation of the body and the clay, which finally end up becoming a sole entity, completely transforming the expressiveness of the artist.

Quim Girón seeks out balance, sound, the clown and animal movement. He began his training in Barcelona at the Rogelio Rivel School of Circus, specializing in hand balancing, and then went on to Le Lido circus school in Toulouse, where he worked on the interplay between the actor and his personality onstage. He finished his studies at the DOCH (University of Dance and Circus in Stockholm, Sweden), where he focussed on hand balancing and acro-dance and was awarded a Sophie Hulten scholarship for his creativity, play with risk, and skill as a circus artist. Quim Girón is the founder and artistic director of the circus company Animal Religion, which performs in Europe and Asia.
