Founded in 1991, Los Galindos emerged from a search for a synergistic and energetic approach to collective creation. The group draws inspiration from poetry and the world of imagination, resulting in a distinctive artistic signature. Well known in the world of contemporary circus and clowning, Los Galindos has received numerous prestigious awards, both internationally and in France.
The core members of the collective are artists Bet Garrell, Marcel Escolano, and producer Caterina Fiol. For their upcoming performance, they continue working with the same team that collaborated on MDR (Death from Laughter), which was featured in the RE RIGA! festival at Riga Circus in 2023 – artists Anicet Leone and Gabriel Agosti.
Los Galindos residency at the Rīgas cirks is supported by AC/E program PICE and Institut Ramon Llull.
