“(...) the poem is a snail where the music of the world resonates, and meters and rhymes are but correspondences, echoes, of universal harmony.”
Inspired by Octavio Paz's text, "Rima" suggests a poetic narrative based on the relationship between two people from strange geographies who coincide and support each other in constructing a common definition of home.
RIMA is a new contemporary circus creation designed for both theatres and public spaces. It's a performance where circus techniques and movement intertwine, with the Cyr wheel as its central language and inspired by the many coincidences that connect its two creators, Alan and Alvin.
