One woman theater circus show

Juggling with the feet,
physical humor
and the gift of being present.
The game of give and take.
This show seeks to be that,
a moment where we let ourselves be surprised by the circus,
we are transformed by history
and we laugh with the simplicity of a gesture.

Synopsis

Elvira receives a gift. Not being able to open it,

she invents situations to play with the public

and celebrate the present.

The interior of the gift magically transforms the exterior.
