COMPANY

Piuke was born in 2019 with a clear vision: to create from love, listening, respect, and trust.

We are a duo and contemporary circus company dedicated to researching partner acrobatics. Our language fuses acrobatic technique with theater, dance, physical humor, and music, always seeking the body as a bridge of communication.

"Piuke" means heart in Mapudungun. This name guides our pedagogical and artistic practice, prioritizing healthy processes and genuine human bonds.

SCHOOL

Acrobatic training

A space to learn from care, bonding, and respect for the body.
Hand balancing - Floor acrobatics - Partner acrobatics - Group acrobatics - Scenic creation - Training and stretching

At Piuke School, teaching is born from the desire to share the experience that acrobatics has given us: trust, listening, and presence. We believe this knowledge grows when it circulates and is built in community.

Training is a collective process where technique accompanies movement with awareness and care. We offer accessible and respectful spaces, where each person can learn at their own pace.

Training is also an encounter: a place to explore movement, trust others, support each other, and grow together.
