COLLABORATION wihCIRCULO
Premier Quito,EQ. August 2018
This Project was the result of Circulo after winning an award by the Minister of Culture of Equator.
It’s a Circus performance that researches on the national idiosyncrasy and the role of a Cantina –traditional type of bar- in the evolution of the national bohemia. It reveals the way that popular music becomes a soundtrack of certain periods of time provoking a certain state of mind and emotion.
The cast put together physical actors, circus performers, musicians and a technique on stage. Each scene creates a new scenic setting reusing and composing stage with 80 yellow cases of the national beer. Every scene presents a different musical track that is played live on stage by the performers.
