BI-CAP/Mirabilia Biennale Internazionale del Circo e delle Arti Performative is the Circus and Mutidisciplinary Biannual of Italy held at the beginning of september in the city of Cuneo. After 13 years of activity, with each year about 100-180 professionals, 50 to 80.000 peole and 13-15.000 tikets sold for indoor shows, Mirabilia Festival moved from cities in the province of Cuneo to the to its capitaland main city. The biannual, which holds a strictly multidisciplinary and often transdisciplinary contemporary programmation of some of the best works of Europe, operates in the disciplines of Circus, Dance, Urban theatre and Theatre with the premieres and creations of between 40 to 50 companies, and over 100 shows in 6 days. Meetings, round tables, presentations, seminars and work in progress are hold daily in collaborations with european and italian institutions and entities. In 2017 the former Mirabilia Festival (now BI-CAP) hosted a beautiful Circostrada General Meeting which coronated an intense decade of European meetings and projects, like JTCE, CircusNext, Transmission, River-Cities, parcours Croisées, Circollaborative Tools, etc. Next edition will be hold in Cuneo form 1 to 6 September 2020 (and, in 2022, from 1 to 11 September)

Mirabilia n’est pas seulement un festival international de cirque et de spectacle vivant. Il ne se conforme pas uniquement à une programmation de spectacles, mais construit tout au long de l’année une stratégie internationale afin de promouvoir la création, favoriser la coproduction, offrir des résidences et un soutien au long cours aux projets et compagnies émergentes, programmer des premières italiennes et mondiales ainsi que des spectacles indépendants - parfois encore fragiles mais à ne pas manquer.

En 2015, Mirabilia a accueilli 48 compagnies, européennes et internationales – cirque, danse, théâtre et arts de la rue confondus - soutenues pour leur aspect innovant. Plus de 170 professionnels ont participé au festival, comptabilisant 80 000 spectateurs et 12 500 tickets vendus.
