Sóc (I’m)
a creation by Marta Sitjà
SÓC , offers a vibrant celebration of diversity and difference. A circus performance with which we want to show that true beauty is found in embracing our uniqueness. At the same time, it is a critique of a society trapped by the pressures of mobile phones, social media and fashion, which often imposes the demand to conform and be the same. With this project, we invite the public to rediscover the pride and richness of being unique, celebrating our authenticity in a world that often ignores our true essence.

“SÓC” was the show of the 8th Christmas Circus of Hospitalet de Llobregat, directed by Marta Sitjà, which was presented from 14 December 2024 to 7 January 2025 in the Big Top located in the Cultural District of Hospitalet. This show, produced by the City Council of Hospitalet and Bipol-art, combines circus disciplines such as Chinese pole, trapeze or juggling, balance ladder and cyr wheel, but in this new stage it will be replaced by flying rope. And it has already given 40 performances.
