After decades of performances, the director announces that the circus will close. But no one believes him. Under the dilapidated big top, the performers can only think of escaping. Twelve dazzling characters bring this ensemble fable to life: a dystopian tale steeped in beauty and symbolism, exploring the relationship between art and freedom, fear and power, in a world where nonsense reigns supreme. From the trapeze-less acrobat to the lame rumba dancer, amid conspiracies, verbal duels, and knife fights, the clown, the fortune teller, the contortionist, the animal tamer, and other extraordinary beings parade before us. Together, they weave a fierce and magical universe where humor, nostalgia, danger, and tenderness coexist. In his most recent dramatic text, the acclaimed Cuban author Abilio Estévez delivers a mature, disturbing, and luminous work, a distorting but accurate mirror of reality. A staging of great visual power and an exuberant musical accompaniment designed by the author envelop a multigenerational cast, made up of some of the most relevant figures on the current Cuban scene.
