Overview

  • The Grec2025 festival opened June 26 at Montjuïc with 'Le Petit Cirque', a one-hour French spectacle by singer-songwriter Pomme and circus duo Yoann and Marie Bourgeois.
  • The show fuses Pomme’s Saisons album with contemporary dance and aerial circus to trace the cycle of the four seasons.
  • A raised wooden circular track served as a dynamic stage element, using centrifugal and centripetal motion to shape the choreography.
  • Inaugural attendees included President Salvador Illa, Mayor Jaume Collboni, Culture Minister Sònia Hernández, Parliament President Josep Rull and Ministry of Culture Secretary Jordi Martí.
  • 'Le Petit Cirque' earned a three-minute ovation and will return for two more performances on Friday and Saturday.
