Abstract This article reports the pedagogical practice of Physical Education teachers who developed two projects related to the circus, one with elementary school students and the other with high school students. The objective is, initially, to discuss the importance of the ethical-political-pedagogical commitment of teachers in face of social disparities, in order to establish a didactic action situated with a view to collective emancipation, in the Freirean perspective. Then, the artistic, affective, aesthetic, critical and sociocultural potentials of the circus theme in Physical Education classes are presented through the report of the projects “The circus has arrived - the collective doing of acrobatics” and “Circus: between the spectacle and the everyday”. The results show a break with the technicist view and project the potential to thematize the circus in basic education to enable humanizing exchanges arising from relationships that are constituted from a dialogue with the other, with the world.
