We are a contemporary circus company specializing in acrobatic tricks, banquets, towers, jumps into the void (both physical and metaphorical) and above all, we specialize in playing and enjoying what we do.
We offer shows in theatrical and street format for all audiences, in which, little by little, we have acquired a personal style characterized by: a high technical level, a constant search for balance between risk, aesthetics and humor, and artists without characters, but with a lot to offer. Works that will hardly leave the public indifferent.

UpArte company was born in Murcia at the end of 2012 under the roof of La Chimenea Escénica. What would begin as a fun hobby of a group of young people, with no other expectations than to enjoy and live experiences, would soon become a professional project that would catch body and soul to its members, who would begin a great adventure to become the professional circus company that they are today.
Among the numerous festivals in which the Murcian troupe has been part of, it is worth mentioning its first appearance in CIRCADA OFF 2014, where the company was awarded with the participation in the official programming of the following year, an opportunity that would be used to present its first large-format work Todo encaja (2015).
With Todo encaja the company would begin its professional career stepping on important national and international stages, performing more than 150 functions and receiving awards in recognition of its work, such as the one obtained at the International Festival Cirque Arts Khourigba in Morocco (2017) or the Azahar Award of the Performing Arts of Murcia for best street show (2017).
UpArte would continue its artistic production with the show ÁUREO, premiered in 2018 at the Teatro Circo Murcia, a work with which it would again have a long career, participating in numerous important festivals in the country, such as the A.R.CA festival of Aguilar del Campoo (2019) and the UMORE AZOKA fair in Leioa (2019), where it would receive jury and audience awards for best show.
Currently the company is in the final stages of production of its third creation, DESproVISTO, a work that will premiere in December 2022 at the Teatro Circo Murcia.
In its shows, UpArte has always sought to get out of its comfort zone, encouraging me from its beginnings to bet on the most difficult yet, a spirit instilled by its trainer Vitaliy Motouzka, former Russian acrobat trained in the most traditional and classic circus. In addition, the company has always sought new horizons and challenges, betting on a contemporary language, deepening the aesthetic and conceptual aspects of their productions, humor, as well as launching into the void with new disciplines for them, such as juggling, Russian bar or contemporary dance.
As a result UpArte offers very visual shows for all audiences, of a high technical level, entertaining and risky, where it will be difficult to contain a smile or stay with your back glued to the seat.

Devoid of everything but ourselves, the eternal search to free ourselves from appearances, prejudices and roles, showing ourselves naked and vulnerable to the world, where we will always find the other in moments of doubt or danger. DESPROVISTO is a bet for plasticity, flexibility and change, realizing that not everything has to be always the same way.
DESproVISTO is the third work of the company UpArte, a work that maintains the essence of his previous works, which stand out for a high technical acrobatic level, performers without characters and a leitmotif that moves the work, but which is not a priority to know to enjoy the show. A search for balance between risk, rhythm, aesthetics and humor. At the same time, DESproVISTO intends to give a change from the rigid to the flexible, a basic concept of the work that can be seen in the elements used on stage (fabrics) and in the corporal proposal, incorporating contemporary dance to the work of the company.
DESproVISTO is a contemporary circus work for all audiences, which wants to reach the spectator in form and substance, in which the artists will experience a process of transformation where the acrobatic technique and dance will be part of their common language.

Inspired by the divine proportion and the number Phi, Áureo aims to immerse the viewer in an atmosphere governed by harmony and balance. Acrobatics of a high technical level are executed in a space in which the relationships between objects and people were calculated with precision and argument. Nothing is arbitrary. The aim of Áureo is to create in the spectator an attraction towards the visual, a contrast between the coziness and the uncertainty of each acrobatics, each jump, each fall.
Despite not having any storyline, the play invites us to travel a path of transformation, where the scenery will be developed throughout the show. The performers, plain and natural, will take us by the hand through this path of images, acrobatics, music and emotions. Within this aesthetic and orderly environment, humor interrupts without being avoided. Situations that are resolved in the most human way bring to light the absurdity of normality. Áureo is a dynamic and entertaining circus show that combines different circus disciplines, acrobatics, acrobatics, banquette, Russian bar, juggling and the manipulation of the objects that make up the scenography.
In addition to attracting with the aesthetics of the space, great technical level and a spontaneous atmosphere, Áureo seeks to arouse in the audience the feeling that there is something else behind all that movement of bodies and bars: something that makes them smile.
Duration: 45 min. street version, 50 min. indoor version.

Six bodies on stage go up, down, dance, but above all, they jump! UpArte presents a lively show that maintains the high level acrobatic technique, but this time the artists show their more human side with small touches of humor. A few boxes and a lot of fun.
Everything fits is a fresh, visual work, where its six components will infect the spectator with the joy of their music and more intense emotions by means of jumps, flights and human towers, showing the most personal and funniest side of acrobatics. A show of self-improvement and confidence, full of enthusiasm and with great capacity to spread it. The whole show has a frenetic rhythm, fresh and complicit, within a simple space that will make the audience enjoy the show.
The jury also valued the dedication and enthusiasm in the work and its connection with the roots of the most technical circus … a work full of acrobatics at a pace that takes the viewer from beginning to end without barely noticing and without closing the mouth of the surprises.

From the circus point of view,
we are in front of an acrobatic troupe without equal in the Spanish contemporary circus,
that has been incorporating more and more tricks and rescuing circus techniques of enormous risk and spectacularity,
such as the Russian bar.
It is clear that for UpArte there are no limits.
The circus technique is impeccable.
Through a perfectly choreographed development,
the show plunges us into a crescendo of emotions.
One of those shows difficult to describe.
That leaves you with the ay in your mouth.
That surprises.
The concentration, effort and dedication of the UpArte members was matched by an audience that did not fail to applaud a single one of the acrobatics, the somersaults, the somersaults several meters high or the human towers.
Without exaggeration.
The plasticity of the exercise impressed.
