It is then when she created the entreprise “Cia. Circortito”, and combines her artistic work with teaching at the Escuela de Circo Criollo.

    After ten years as member of the “Cia. Circortito” (Buenos Aires/Vitoria-Gasteiz, 2006-2016) and its shows “DesPistaDos”, “No hay 2 sin 3” y “Lo bueno viene en frascos pequeños”, in 2017 she created her individual project  “Sarini Zirko” with the show “Txoriak txori!”.

    Actually she combines her job as an artist with teaching , which she does by teaching circus clases in different spaces.


the company

Orain-Bi (zirko-teatro) consist on Sara Alvarez y Rodrigo Lacasa. After several encounters and shared training sessions, and realising the posibilities of a profesional joined career, it started as a single company in Bilbao in 2019. From there onwards it started performing small shows and short performances, creating a good baseline that consolidated the company, especialising itself in several acrobatic disciplines, such as hand-to-hand and acrobatic perch.

 

After these small performances and shows for the public, both members felt the need to create a different show, original and surprising. Therefore in May 2022 it debuted ¨MUTE¨ in the fair Umone azoka¨ in Leioa, with great reviews by the public and excellent critics, winning the Price to the best show in Euskadi.

 

From here onwards, it started to tour, enjoy and make people smile, doing what they like the most, CIRQUE!
