Knitted Circus: Ropes to Connect & Collective Memory

Discover the poetic wonder of If Circus, where ancient craft meets contemporary circus. Founded by the artists Shalom Gramiccioli (Italy) and Mar Olivé (Catalonia), If Circus crafts immersive performances around hand‑knitted ropes that breathe, move, and evoke stories of tradition, community, and memory. In 2025, If Circus will present Melic – Knitting Memories across festivals and theaters in Belgium, the Netherlands, Catalonia, Portugal, Latvia, Italy, Germany, and more, cultivating connections and inviting participation wherever they go.
