What to do this week in Buenos Aires

A fantastic plan for kids and adults alike: enjoy a circus show that has everything, from clowns and trapeze artists to a death-defying motorcycle globe. This is Circo Servián — running until August 3 in the Grand Tent — a family company that today is a benchmark in this kind of performance. In this interview with Guadalupe Servián, the sixth generation of this circus family, we share a bit of their story.

It’s a different, fun, and surprising experience featuring impressive light and sound technology, choreography, and the skill of national and international artists.

This Tuesday, July 29, is World Lasagna Day, and of course, Time Out wants to join the celebration. To honor this iconic Italian dish, we chose two spots.

On one hand, a classic filled with bolognese and spinach at Ciro, the Italian-spirited restaurant with locations in Puerto Madero, Palermo, and Aeroparque. This dish is served in generous portions with a choice of sauces: pomodoro, rosa, pancetta cream, or fresh pesto, available daily for lunch and dinner.

On the other, a more original version with spinach, ricotta, fior di latte, and hazelnuts at ORNO, the italo-pop cantina in Palermo. Creamy in texture with a subtle crunch, it’s perfect for those who love homemade pasta with balanced flavors.

Tip: no reservation needed for Ciro. To reserve a table at ORNO, you can do so at this link.

Premiered just a few days ago, our theatrical recommendation of the week is Yepeto, a landmark play in Argentine theater, showing every Wednesday and Sunday at Teatro Picadilly.

It’s an original story by Roberto “Tito” Cossa, returning to the stage with an intimate and moving production, directed by Nicolás Cabré and starring Roly Serrano, Alan Madanes and Luisina Arito. In this version, a mature literature-loving professor crosses paths with a young athlete who is in love with one of his students. What seems a simple generational conflict turns into an emotional experience that shakes him deeply. Two men face their own insecurities in a story showing how love transforms. A woman who unites and divides them. A story about what we dream, what we lose, and what we cannot stop wanting.

When multiple art disciplines intersect, the result is undoubtedly interesting. That’s what happens in Florencia Hana Ciliberti’s first documentary, Other Forms: Artists Who Make Music, which will premiere this Thursday at 7 p.m. at MALBA’s cinema.

The film explores the often invisible history of visual artists who also make music, from pioneers like Jorge De la Vega to contemporary figures.

PATIOarts, the artistic space on Level 1 of Patio Bullrich, hosts Irupé, an exhibition by renowned artist Milo Lockett.

This space showcases his colorful works that convey tenderness and innocence. It offers a tour through his most emblematic production but also invites a different way of looking. Because Milo doesn’t paint to be silently contemplated: his art invites hugs, play, conversation, and generous gestures.

Ideal for visiting with kids during the holidays, the exhibition runs until August 22 and is open Monday to Sunday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Tip: free admission.

Where: Posadas 1245.

From May to November is artichoke season. Loved by many and hated by others, these months are ideal for eating them at home or finding them starring on many restaurant menus.

DiezTreinta, chef Eliseo Martínez’s project in Colegiales, features them in a special dish with two cooked artichokes, roasted cauliflower purée, seasonal vegetables, and pangrattato. If you want to try it paired with wine, definitely choose a dry white from their wine list, which includes over 20 labels from small and medium producers offering low- to medium-intervention wines.
