About the show
Who does not want after all to have white balls!! To eat, to warm up, to live… Produce, knead and accumulate more and more balls, which here, as everything is round, nothing has an end.
“Pin Pang” is a humorous circus show that addresses the infeasibility of our standard of living and the collapse towards which we are heading, inviting you to live with less. The show involves more than 18 months of research, creation, and training, utilizing an elaborate manipulation technique with ping-pong balls that combines juggling and magic.
“Pin Pang” received the award for Best Show at the Clown and Circus Festival of Úbeda 2022.

About the artist
Artist Xabi Larrea discovered the circus by chance, and the path of skill and small achievements became so attractive and vivid that he decided to study in England and Cuba. These two circus schools and their different cultures opened Xabi’s young mind to the search for new experiences, illusions, and different ways of understanding life, art, and personal work.
