Circo de Nada
Denver, COAbout Circo de Nada
Circo de Nada is an experimental, contemporary take on Commedia dell'Arte, improvised around a loose circus structure. We named it after ourselves to be our flagship production, one that embodies our core principles of live presence, Carnavalesque invention, and portability.The group is a theatre, puppetry and music project led by Nick Trotter. We produce unconventional performances and take them to the street—wherever the people are: schools, churches, theaters, or even just the streets. Our goal is to perform a mixture of theatre, music and Carnavalesque spectacle, on the streets or within theaters and other institutions, using masks, puppets, and music to create performance that literally moves people. Our name, seemingly nonsensical, refers to the practice of using minimal sets, costumes and production values, along with improvisation, found objects and junkyard music, to conjure up worlds of imagination and flights of fancy.
