Building on a longstanding momentum and the energy of a new wave of young individuals, Zaltimbanq’ wanted to implement the “Creation Workshops” project targeting children and youth aged between 9 and 13. After several years of practice, some youths are motivated to embark on a new, more specific, creative, and artistic adventure. This project was designed for them, eager to delve into the world of circus artistic creation. Through weekly classes, intensive workshops, presentation moments, cultural awakenings, and encounters, they have been provided with time and a limitless space for expression, where personalities, potentials, creativity, and community have been revealed.
This creation, which is nothing less than the culmination of the project, was unveiled during the 2024 Circus Festival, organized every two years by Zaltimbanq. With the theme of a train journey, the fifteen participants took spectators on an artistic journey punctuated by several stops presented in the form of artistic scenes. Juggling, acrobatics, unicycling, and cup-and-ball were on the program, along with self-improvement, teamwork, creativity, and the learning of new techniques.
