Show 'La Bande à Tyrex' (Gràcia District)

France. Circus and Live music. Barcelona premiere

Cyclists are so commonplace that no one is likely to notice them... until they start dancing. Because this is a musical cycling ballet, or perhaps a fragment of a musical show like those seen in the theatre, but on bicycles. You’ll see artists on wheels turning, singing, dancing... and pedalling. You may have seen them performing in the afternoons in Plaça de Catalunya, but this pop-up show, which is more akin to street art, merges with city residents’ daily life through, improvised and seemingly impossible balancing acts and movements. Go for a walk around your district and keep an eye out for these generous, athletic and endearing artists.
