Directed by Augusto M. Torres2021 11mDocumentary, Short
Augusto M. Torres makes a tour of images in honor of the entire CIRCUS THEATER of Orihuela. Halfway between the stable theater and the circus tent, the TEATRO CIRCO were multipurpose venues that, following a typology of Parisian origin, hosted shows of all kinds: concerts, theater, cinema, circus, operetta. The CIRCUS THEATER of Alicante, after being dismantled, moved and rebuilt in Orihuela, was inaugurated on April 25, 1908. It closed in 1978 and remained in a state of ruin and abandonment. Citizen pressure managed to reopen it in 1995, after a laborious recovery and rehabilitation process by the Orihuela city council.
