NAGUAL moved by the wind
Between circus and dance, NAGUAL invites us to travel together towards the highest clouds.
An aerial structure, two trapezes and a crystal sphere accompany a body moved by the wind, from stillness and contemplation to the joy of flight.
Without words, each transformation opens the way to the next, leaving the audience free to build their own adventure.
An encounter between the body, the space, the audience and the wind that moves everything.
