Magic Bag. The Circus Changing Life Projects

Due to the artistic work developed by the animation team of Chapitô, the Mala Mágica project was created. The young people from Education Centres are the main subjects of the intervention, being simultaneously actors and authors of the animations that the Mala Mágica project dynamizes in schools, neighbourhoods and partner institutions. The circus arts thus respond to a real possibility of these young people gain transversal skills that help them build other personally rewarding and socially relevant life trajectories.
The project promotes meetings and dialogues with local partners that guarantee spaces and different audiences where young people receive audiences, present shows and guide workshops: Juggling, Air, Capoeira, Plastic Arts, Music, Tales and Oral Tradition.
