Gala Saniclown: XX Anniversary

On 1 and 2 November, the Teatro Circo Price is hosting the latest Gala Saniclown show under the name of Slumber party at the circus. It is a charity event for all ages that has spent the last  six years bringing together great circus artists and the Saniclown Hospital Clowns to offer a poetic combination of circus, humour and magic.

Saniclown is a group of professionals in medicine, art, education and psychology who have been trained in the technique of clowning to brighten up the stay of children and patients admitted to hospitals.

This training started in 2004, visiting children admitted to the Oncology Area of the Niño Jesús Hospital in Madrid. Since then, it has spread to three hospitals in Madrid, collaborated in an international project in Burkina Faso and works with groups at risk of social exclusion, health centres and schools.

The proceeds will be used to continue Saniclown's current projects with children and adults, whose sole objective is the emotional well-being of those in hospital and their families through clown, poetic and artistic techniques. In addition to the charity gala, those interested can find out more and collaborate through the official website.

Approximate Duration: 90 minutes 

Recommended Age: All ages
