Presentation at the Intercultural Festival in the park of Buenos Aires

The first presentation of the new school year. This time, the venue was more way: The public bus took us after a journey of one and a half hours to San Isidros’ southern neighbour town Buenos Aires. For the kids, it was a little world trip, because most of them did not see another city apart from their own yet and partly did not even know,

that there is a city called Buenos Aires in Costa Rica. This Intercultural Festival was about the communication between the Costa Rican people or Ticos, how they call themselves and their native

rural population, whose contribution was the presentation of their traditional dances. The Circus of Tierra Prometida presented, of course, its work “el viaje del fuego”, that went well with the spectators.

Afterwards, in the nearby río, the hunger for river of the kids was finally satisfied. A past driving little bus was kind enough to take us to the some kilometers away water,

where the little artists romped around for about two hours. On the return journey to San Isidro de El General, all the kids were sleeping, being overcome by the impressions

of the day. It was the first circus show for Alexandra Graf from Vienna, who has experience in practicing with youthful circus groups and who will working in the project till the end of July. For the Austrian Mathias Aug-

doppler from Linz, who is doing his civil service here, it was his first circus presen tation too, that he accompanied.
