Artist Information

Maleta Company

Maleta Company is a contemporary circus company based in Ireland, established in 2013. Focused on juggling, manipulation and the body as means of expression, the company produced two shows, Boa Noite and Put a Spell On You. Later, they began working with German artist Jonas Schiffauer under a new identity, Hippana.Maleta, and produced the shows Tunnel in 2019—awarded the TAC! Festival prize for Best Circus Show in 2022—and Runners in 2021.

Dedicated to experimentation and the exploration of juggling, Maleta Company’s motto, “Juggling is a language,” reflects the idea that juggling can transcend mere technical skill to become its own artistic language.
