Lost in this pile of bricks three jugglers are carried away by the poetry of the building. The rigidity of a hard work comes the ultimate expression of the malleability of the body with the space and the objects that surround them.?

This excerpt is based on a combination of different moments of contemporary circus show "Fio Prumo". It is a shorter presentation adapted to alternative spaces. Although with less subjects, keep the experimental tone cross between choreography, music, juggling and manipulation of bricks.
