Acrobatic shows for all tastes

Year after year, Trapezi transforms the everyday life of Reus, becoming a dream of acrobatics and shows. From this dreamlike narrative, three poster images have been created with real artists, all participants in previous editions, who break with the established daily framework, conveying the idea of balance and movement that define the Circus Fair of Catalonia.

The protagonists come out of the poster’s two-dimensional space to call to us, reflecting the different disciplines that we can enjoy and making us participants in these five days of circus in the city. Their gestures and proportions have been distorted and exaggerated to emphasize expressions and give dynamism to the overall image.

Additionally, we have given a nod to the past by using a modern version of the typography from the first editions of the Fair.

Essential information so you don’t miss anything from this edition of Trapezi

Registrations to participate are free and can be done until Thursday, May 14 at 2 p.m. This initiative is open to everyone, aiming to promote responsible consumption and reuse.

Objectives and impact of the swap market

The 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle

The M2M presents itself as a space to practice the 3Rs, fundamental for sustainability. Reduce the consumption of new products, reuse existing ones, and recycle properly.

This philosophy helps decrease waste and prevents still-useful objects from ending up in the trash.

Responsible consumption and local community

The market is a meeting point for residents of Alcover and visitors interested in giving their objects a new use.

It promotes environmental awareness and solidarity, as it allows sharing resources and helping others access products at affordable prices or simply by swapping without money.
