The main concept that articulates this project and its creation is the emotional and physical wounds that people have faced throughout their lives, and the way we relate to them. By facing and overcoming adversity, we become stronger. I believe that the circus has a great potential to be able to explain this through the body, together with dance and theatre with all its visual poetry. With the circus disciplines chosen for the show I can stage different parts of the work, since the symbolism of the circus element helps its theatrical representation and dramaturgy.
