"Fihizhká", referring to the years 1,500 to 1,700, is a work that through the language of the new circus, dance, physical theater and objects, re-creates a magical place where one of the most important and precious nectars of the Colombian culture is produced: the sugar cane extract.

This work is inspired by the miscegenation of indigenous, black and European races and cultures, that took place in Colombia at the time of the conquest, especially in the context of life and slavery of the sugarcane plantations and sugar mills brought to America. In these places, part of Colombian history was created, as well as, to date, several of the most significant products of the country's agribusiness have been produced.
