ESENCIAL is a show that addresses transitions.
Five characters who play and dream, bring us along in their adventures across unexplored places, where the final decision is to take the easiest route.
The spectacular scenography of the new Vaivén Circo show is inspired by Waldorf’s “rainbow”, a toy comprised of pillars and arches. Education specialists agree that it is an undefined object that does not restrict the children’s imagination, and it is also a craft toy, made with natural raw materials that can accompany the child over the years.
The audience witnesses an architecture that is evolving and able to reinvent itself, in the same way human beings seek progress. The scenography is poetic, creating a magical atmosphere, working with balance and subtleties that can make harmony turn into chaos in an instant.
For this show, Miguel Moreno “Bolo”, awarded National Circus Prize 2016, collaborate with Javier Parra on direction and Jokin Oregi, awarded National Children and Young people’s Theatre Prize 2018 with his company Marie de Jongh, on theatre staging.
