XXX. I am Berrinchera.

Cyhoeddwyd: 22.03.2017

So, now you know from the last blog post what the Berrinche is. Now comes the more difficult part for me, somehow putting into words what happened to me this week. I feel like I have never experienced such compact 7 days in a row, so many impressions and people squeezed into such a short time that sometimes you had to make sure to leave room for air.


I think the easiest way for me to explain my personal impressions is to go along with my photos of this week. Slowly but surely, I really feel like I can express myself with the help of my pictures - totally beautiful!

The first thing I remember incredibly fondly is the general atmosphere of play and learning that every single Berrinchero seems to have internalized. At any time of the day, someone was in the Palapa to practice, learn or show a circus discipline. Not only was I able to learn a lot myself and pass it on, but I am still nourished by the boost of motivation that this basic atmosphere gave me. In the end, we should approach life like children - with curiosity and without doubt, no matter what age.


Not to forget, the incredible performances that I could see. On the one hand, I saw partially completely new things for me, on the other hand, I experienced so many things that I had already seen in my time in Granada in a completely new way. It was pretty crazy how many different clowns were at the festival and how differently they presented themselves!

On the Berrinche, the best of the best come together and to see how good they are and at the same time to be part of the troupe, not as a spectator, but as a Berrinchero, that was a magical experience that I definitely don't want to miss.


In addition, I felt like through the Berrinche I was building a completely new connection to Granada and its residents - in the last stretch, I was able to get to know the city from a new perspective.

Granada gathered for the performances and looked at the circus school with those particularly shining circus eyes that had already been my home for 5 months (and probably will forever). But what stood out for me were the two parades through the city. The goal was to somehow get as many people as possible to notice us and come to our performances with a big smile on their face. Everyone had their own tactics for that, mine was to copy someone until that person noticed. But see for yourself!


It was also a great pleasure for me to be able to take soooo many photos - motifs were available everywhere at any time! I have developed quite a bit in fire photography.


Finally, I want to highlight the most important aspect of this festival for me: The people. What a wonderful circus family has adopted me out of the blue there. Incredibly talented, interesting, world-traveled, open, positive, crazy people. Several months after the festival, I still feel inspired and happy to have gotten to know all of them. I have met so many of them again in the last few weeks and every time the joy was unbridled - family indeed.


And because this is so important to me, I would like to end this blog post stellplary for this big heap of lovely people with some of the crazies. Thank you very much, Berrincheros, thank you very much Berrinche! And thank you for reading.
