Synopsis
Circus numbers - A Show for Kids is a comedy that transports the charm of old traveling circuses into the world of children. A group of artists multiply themselves in a thousand facets to showcase the magic of Numbers inspired by the tradition of the circus, thus paying tribute to the small circuses that travel through the interior of the country. In this show, five amusing characters transform themselves into various roles to present the numbers, perform the counter-rehearsal, sell popcorn, and ensure that everything runs smoothly to keep the show going! The playful atmosphere of the performance not only captivates and amuses the youngest audience but also pays homage to the resilient spirit of the circus artist, capable of transforming, with unshakable joy, his material misery into art.

Brief history
"Circus numbers - A Show for Kids” premiered in 2011 as a children's version of the award-winning show “Numbers”, touring extensively throughout the state of São Paulo. Since then, the play has left its mark at events such as the 34th FESTE in Pindamonhangaba, where it earned recognition for the best makeup. It has been featured at SESI and SESC units across numerous municipalities, including Araraquara, São José dos Campos, Campinas, Rio Claro, Santo André, Santana do Parnaíba, Indaiatuba, Limeira, Americana, Araras, Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, Piracicaba, and more. The production also had a season at FUNARTE in São Paulo in 2013 and participated in the festival Em janeiro, teatro para criança é o maior barato in São José do Rio Preto. In 2014, the show returned to the capital within the project "Cultura Livre SP" and, through the project "Mosaico Teatral" (promoted by SESCOOP), went to Taguaí, Amparo and Monte Alto. In 2017 and 2019, the production had two additional seasons in São Paulo as part of the "Recreio nas Férias" project by the Municipal Education Secretariat of the City of São Paulo.
