Discover Trapezi Reus, the circus festival par excellence
Since its beginnings in 1997, Trapezi Reus has established itself as one of the most important performing arts fairs on the Catalan cultural calendar.
Born with the aim of vindicating the circus as a top-level performing art, this fair has from the outset opted for a contemporary, creative and constantly evolving vision, far removed from traditional circus, but without losing respect for its roots.
Over the years, Trapezi has grown in fame, attracting companies from all over the world and thousands of spectators who fill its streets, squares and theatres. The event blends open-air shows with performances in theatres, bringing the circus to all audiences.
In addition to its artistic aspect, the fair fulfils a key professional function: it is a meeting point for artists, programmers and cultural managers, promoting the dissemination and production of contemporary circus in Catalonia, Spain and internationally.
Today, almost three decades after its birth, Trapezi Reus continues to be an essential place to discover the latest circus trends and to experience the thrill of live art in the heart of Reus.

Trapezi Reus: five days of circus and art
From 14th to 18th of May 2025, Reus will once again become the living stage of contemporary circus with the 29th edition of Trapezi Reus. For five intense days, the heart of the city will host more than 60 performances in streets, squares, theatres and marquees, reaffirming Reus as a cultural reference point on the European stage scene.
Outstanding programme
This year’s programme stands out for its breadth, quality and social commitment. Companies from different corners of the world – together with local and national groups – will present proposals that address current issues such as motherhood, mental health and family reconciliation.
This sensitivity will be reflected in large-scale shows such as ‘Décrochez-moi-ça’ by Cie Bêtes de Foire and ‘Low Cost Paradise’ by Cirque Pardi, in the Parc de la Festa.
Stages
The stages will be diverse and adapted to each proposal: the Sala Santa Llúcia, the Bartrina Theatre, the Fortuny Theatre, the Plaça del Mercadal and the tents set up in the Parc de la Festa will offer unique settings to experience the circus from multiple perspectives.
Space for professionals
At the same time, Trapezi Pro Catalan Arts will be setting up meeting spaces for professionals from the sector. This section will bring together creators, programmers, distributors, companies and organisations in an environment designed to foster dialogue, exchange experiences and build new alliances.
For three intense days, emblematic venues such as Cal Massó and La Palma will host round tables, professional lunches, networking sessions and showcases, all with a special focus on highly relevant topics.
In short, Trapezi Reus is consolidating itself not only as a circus festival for all audiences, but also as a key driving force for the growth, innovation and international projection of the contemporary performing arts sector. So that you can make the most of this fair, Shuttle2Sun offers its shared transfer services and private transfer services, low-cost and sustainable, to Reus, from Barcelona airport, Barcelona port, Reus airport, Girona airport and Camp de Tarragona AVE train station.
