Young Families in Circus: A Documentary
El documental se rodó durante el ciclo Sin Red de 2021 organizado por la concejalía de Cultura con colaboración del Maintomano, Artes Escénicas del Teatro Bergidum y la asociación Las Humeiras de Carracedo de Compludo. En el mismo participaron las familias pertenecientes a las compañías de Maintomano, Proyecto Kavauri, Eia, Cirk About it, y Zirko Txosko, que reunieron para intercambiar experiencias sobre la maternidad y el cuidado de los hijos en el ámbito circense. El trabajo busca reflexionar sobre la repercusión que tiene en las pequeñas compañías familiares la llegada de los hijos. Durante los 43 minutos se analizan temas como el embarazo, la lactancia, la distribución de tareas, los colegios, la integración de los hijos en el circo, el apoyo de los abuelos, o los desplazamientos. Nuevas familias circenses refleja también la interacción y el intercambio de ideas sobre el circo contemporéneo que se produjo entre las cinco compañías durante los cinco días de convivencia en Ponferrada y en el pueblo de Carracedo de Compludo.
