Watch Los Muchachos Revolution Circus

The war for the future of Benposta continues and is entering its bloodiest episode yet: the revolt of the former Muchachos (who are now teachers at the Benposta school) in an attempt to save the institution or dethrone the Priest, according to the version of two irreconcilable sides. It is a fratricidal struggle that ends with the closure of Benposta Ourense and the death of the Priest. However, the spirit of Benposta remains alive, as is the case in other parts of the world such as Benposta Colombia, where today, as was the case 60 years ago in Galicia, offers a glimpse of hope to hundreds of children who had none...

On the cusp of the 1990s, the problems are only getting worse. Benposta no longer makes sense in the Spanish welfare state, and it is running out of children. But the Priest, undaunted by despair, searches for them in South America and Africa. At the same time, with image always in mind, he creates Benposta TV, using it to continue preaching his revolutionary message to the city of Ourense. In 1999, the Xunta comes to claim Benposta

1975. The end of the dictatorship gives rise to the birth of a new Spain to which Benposta is unable to adapt. This has no impact on the Circus. Its international success takes it on a whirlwind tour across all five continents, from the military dictatorships of Chile and Argentina to a Japan that has fallen at its feet. Meanwhile, in Benposta, far from the glamour and excesses of the Circus, things get complicated. In 1985, The Priest, on the brink of bankruptcy, reaches an agreement with the Xunta de Galicia that will prove to be lethal for the future of Benposta...

After a disastrous start in France, the Circus is reborn and puts on a performance at the Grand Palais, winning over "Le Tout Paris." And from there to Madison Square Garden in New York with Pancracio and Naranjita, led by a pair of clown children. Meanwhile, Benposta Ourense becomes an educational benchmark. But the children grow up. Educated with freedom and critical spirit, they want to form an active part of the future of Benposta. The Priest

Fifteen children and a motorbike. That is how the story of Father Silva, Benposta, and his unusual embassy begins in 1960s Galicia: Los Muchachos, a circus created by children! Since its premiere in Barcelona in 1966, the Circus has been a resounding success, making a city created by and for children known throughout the country. The fifteen children have now become hundreds from across the country, and the motorbike has given way to a circus caravan that knows no borders. The Priest wants more. His message goes out to the whole world. Next stop: Paris.
