The ninth edition of the Circaire festival is coming to town and promises to be a more exciting jamboree than ever.
A packed programme over three days from 3-5 May showcases top names on the circus circuit (with human performers).
There will be free performances all over town and some others on the Passeig Marítim in the port of Alcudia, the circus tent in Alcudia and at the auditorium.
One of the main attractions is Wes Peden, reputedly the best juggler in the world, who has performed in more than 25 countries.
His energetic, complex and playful juggling style has garnered him multiple international awards. He says he derives his inspiration from sumo wrestling, fast food packaging and 1950s playgrounds. Wes Peden’s performance style can be appreciated on his youtube channel
