The memory

Project title

Memória

Description of initiative

Memory is a contemporary circus project, which aims to study what makes us human: the ability to imagine and create realities that transform and shape each one's experiences. It is a brief exploration of the strange nature of our consciousness. It is intended to bring to the "naked eye" the complexity of the brain and its "disorders" in a natural way, to demystify them, approaching them through the contemporary circus. Learning to control impulses, emotions and everything that comes from the imaginary world of every human being is not an easy task, but it is a struggle that is fought daily.
