Danilo Facelli is a multi-faceted artist: an actor, playwright, poet and creator of spoken word and live-music shows. He has presented circus galas and cabarets, is part of the Shake, shake, shake show performed by the Pakipayá company and directed the Cronopis Christmas show in 2016 and the Pakipayá company's Toca Toc show in 2022.

A call is also being launched for artists with and without disabilities to participate in the Combinat de Circ 59, which will be held during the following weeks:

• 20 - 24 February (El Graner)
• 10 - 17 March (Cronopis)
• 17 - 23 April (Ateneu Popular 9 Barris)

This is a two-week artistic residence (El Graner and Cronopis) and a 5-day residence at the Teatre de l'Ateneu, from 17 to 21 April 2023. The results will be shown on 22 and 23 April.

The circus proposals of the selected artists will be pooled under artistic direction with the idea of putting together a joint show that will be presented during the final weekend at the Teatre de l'Ateneu.

Participation in the Combinat will be remunerated. Anyone interested should fill in this form which will be shared with the Circus Committee and the Combinat 59's management team, who are in charge of the selection process.

You have until 11.59 pm on 11 November, to submit your proposals.
