REC.ON (struction)

LucaS Ruiz & Max calaf

REC.ON (struction) explores experiences that often become invisible. In this journey, the universe of two acrobats is disrupted and subverted. The (de)montage, construction materials, discards, and behind-the-scenes doubts are the protagonists of a show full of humor and transgression.

Sounds, materials, objects, and the structure itself surprise with a game of disobedience and imbalance, seeking to expose the fragility of the two artists on stage. Using a trampoline as a medium, the artists reveal their doubts and wishes, making the audience both witness and accomplice to their necessary adaptation to a new life cycle.

The show develops an allegory of the midlife crisis, turning around the semiotics and social stereotypes surrounding it, approached from the unique perspective of two circus artists. REC.ON (struction) encourages audiences to explore their abilities, as well as psychological and physical limits, through curiosity and play.
