Résumé :
In this chapter the author brings forward some aspects of a more extensive research project that, through the case of circus arts, focuses on the process of resurgence and redefinition of popular practices that developed in Buenos Aires from the post-dictatorial years up to the present. During the performances of the Criollo Circuses, actors in the first part demonstrated their skills as trapeze artists, acrobats and comedians, while in the second part of the show they interpreted their roles as dramatic actors. While the Circo Criollo School was intended to maintain local circus traditions, the people will see that it played a central role in the generation of a particular street circus style typical of the 1990s to be discussed in the chapter. The early years of the 1990s saw the genesis of several styles or methods of doing circus: New Circus, Street Circus, and Social Circus.
