AlaPista! Created and directed by Jordi Juanet ‘Boni’ and Silvia Compte Bustos, it arises from the desire to join forces and knowledge to support the creation of cultural projects related to the circus world. We also share our experience to accompany companies in the process of creation, production and distribution of their shows.
We also count with Eva Romero, who is part of the Alapista! team and is responsible for the communication of all our activities, in addition to carrying out administrative tasks.
Since 2020 we have been bringing to the public what we are most passionate about: the circus.
We are specialized in the artistic programming of festivals, technical coordination, the production of circus events and shows, as well as the distribution of shows.
Silvia Compte Bustos
I was active, active… restless ass, when I was a child I took ballet, gymnastics, music, tennis… nothing serious, I studied, worked… until I discovered the circus with the acrobatics classes of Master Rogelio Rivel ….. and I never gave it up.
I have been involved in it since 1993.
Travelling to work, working while travelling, a perfect combination that I love and I never get tired of doing it. I take part in Clowns Without Borders expeditions, experiences that leave their mark, I work with companies such as La Familia Ramirez + Boni, Los Gingers, Chocobrothers, among others, and currently with Guga & Silvia; with all of them both in the ring and in the management and distribution of their shows.
All these experiences, adventures, experiences and learning have led me to partner with a friend, Boni, with whom I have shared hours of truck, unforgettable shows and lots of laughter!
Jordi Juanet “Boni”
Artist by accident, frustrated musician, unexpected manager… nothing was foreseen and suddenly everything fits, gigs, trips, expeditions with Clowns Without Borders, many trips and more gigs… the circus traps me and I have been dedicated to it since 1982.
I have created and produced shows with the companies ‘Boni & Caroli’, ‘La Familia Ramírez y Boni’, ‘Elegants’, ‘Los Barlou’ and also on my own, in all of them responsible for production and distribution.
President of the APCC (Association of Circus Professionals of Catalonia) from 2006 to 2010, meetings and more meetings, without stopping training, rehearsing, acting, travelling… all a challenge. And even more when I accepted to be the artistic director of the International Clown Festival of Cornellà… clowns, direction, management, meetings… clowns, friends… friends, friends.
All these experiences, adventures, experiences and learning have led me to partner with a friend, Sílvia, with whom I have shared hours of truck, unforgettable shows and lots of laughter!
Eva Romero Blanco
The truth is that, as a child, I wanted to be an actress. Cinema and theatre were my passions. I studied Audiovisual Communication, but in college I discovered the magic of the media and made it my profession.
After working in several media, I applied for a job to manage the communication of the Association of Circus Professionals of Catalonia (APCC), and I was selected! There I discovered, as well as good friends, a whole world that fascinated me, for being the sum of the performing arts, for the emotions it arouses in the audience and for the passion of the people who dedicate themselves to it. I worked there for eight years.
After five years in Germany, I have returned to the circus. I’m in charge of communication for various performing arts projects and I’m responsible for communication at AlaPista! It’s a real pleasure to do it together with Silvia and Boni and for a handful of excellent companies and artists. As you can see, I don’t go on stage, but I love working for people who do!
