Founded in 1996 in Genova, Sarabanda is a cultural association working at the national and international level for socio-cultural development of the Italian territory through research in the multidisciplinary field of theater, contemporary circus and urban performance. Engaged in the field of training and development of young talents, it helps to discover new languages and unconventional spaces. It supports, produces and promotes companies during festivals and events, as a platform dedicated to the contemporary scene facilitating encounters between artists, audiences and operators.

Three main projects are carried out by Sarabanda: Circumnavigando International Festival of Circus Theatre founded in 2001; CIRCUS ZONE Festival, a circus festival organised in different cities in the North of Italy; “Ge.AC Genova Arti Circensi”, a circus school for children between 4 and 14 years old.
