La Piedra de Madera is a shared space, where scenes follow one another and transform through the collaboration of everyone involved. A transgenerational experience that uses the circus languages of balance, trust and comedy to create encounters between people. Could it be that, in life, we must learn how to make stones dance? And perhaps realise that if we share the weight, even the biggest stones can become light?

Melon, Mardi and Rossinyol face an unexpected conflict. Their untamed and clumsy nature and the need to exist take them to an improbable show, where they freely explore any atrocity.

The doors of the villa open. The guests become both witnesses and accomplices in a praise of the absurd, a journey where time flows without ever passing, luxury is a prison, and boredom is an art. A poetic, sarcastic, and profoundly useless performance. Like life, at times.

Recommended age: +6.

In the silence, when Tsubasa Watanabe begins to dance with his diabolo, the contourless souls melt together like the drifting fog there, and a unique session begins with everything that is there. It is the form in which the spectacle is enveloped by the spectators who happen to be there that creates the momentary contours of the city, and at the centre of it all, the voices of souls who face their fears and fears of life and burn with passion will be heard in the form of poetry.
