The following elements are involved in each of the performances:

– Interactive element. At the beginning of each performance, the audience will choose one image from three that represent the elements air, water and earth. Depending on the photograph chosen, the artists will adapt their repertoire and interpret their piece, taking inspiration from the element chosen by the audience.

– Empty spaces full of art. Each show will take place in one of the commercial spaces that have been left empty as a result of the pandemic. Below, we include a photo.

– More performances and shorter duration of them. Instead of performing a long piece for a small group, we will perform five shows with time off between them, in order to reach more people.

– Educational program for families By means of a system of carpets separated by the safety distance, it will be possible to locate the families that attend the educational program. In this way, we will be able to reach more people. Below is a photo.
