PHiLOCiRQUE – Proyecto Precipio
circusnext invited Proyecto Precipio to conduct a workshop combining circus and philosophy for schoolchildren in the 14th arrondissement
PHiLOCiRQUE : Leap into the world of ideas
From June 24 to 28, 50 second-grade students from the Public Elementary School 12-14 Alésia participated in a workshop combining circus and philosophy.
Through playful activities ranging from discussion circles to physical experiments, participants were encouraged to see the world around them from a fresh perspective. Guided by tightrope walker Eleonora Gimenez and philosopher Diego Vernazza, they explored circus basics—balance, object manipulation, acrobatics—and intertwined them with children’s philosophy—group reflection, personal inquiry, self-expression— for a week full of poetry.
A comprehensive exploration, from head to toe, of body and mind, reality and existence, self and identity, and the dynamics of individuals and groups.
