Re.cuerda is like a story for adults. Like a poem for children. It's a circus and acrobatics show centered on the diabolo, an object familiar to hundreds of generations around the world.
Starting with this toy, it will take us on a journey from our earliest childhood to the obsession with time so prevalent today.
The character embarks on a dream, a journey inward to understand that—even though we can delve into our memories, even though we waste time planning imaginary futures, even though we live against the clock—we only have the certainty that the present slips through our fingers, making each second a gift that life bestows upon us.
