Company RAUXA CIA
Based in Catalonia, Spain, it is led by Xavi Sánchez and Analia Serenelli, two circus artists specialised in the manipulation of objects, surrealistic puppetes, and dance. Xavi’s training took place at the Le Lido – Centre for the Circus Arts in Toulouse, CRAC de Lomme – a Regional Center of the Circus Arts in Lille, France, and Carampa in Madrid. Analia comes from a largely self-taught background, supported by more than 10 years of experience as part of the Argentine rhythmic gymnastics team. They met in 2015, at the French company Cirque Plume, a pioneer of contemporary circus.
In 2018, they established RAUXA CIA with the intention of building their own universe in which to express their tragicomic and at the same time poetic vision of life. The company is currently on tour with 2 shows: ‘Paper Theatre’ and ‘La Crisis de la Imaginación’, which premiered in 2019 at FiraTarrega. These pieces have already been in France, Belgium, Croatia, Switzerland, Italy, Bulgaria, Hungary, Spain, and Serbia.
