Its circulation format was digital and online.The programming included, talks, workshops, shows and musical encounters, some with free access and others with financial support.
Digital shows: Artistic pieces were presented in premiere, in a line that we call “audiovisual performing arts”; a style that fuses the performing arts and audiovisual language, offering creations with a committed artistic, technical and production level, enabling the public to have a digital, visual quality experience both in content and presentation. During this season, 15 artistic pieces from Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Mexico, Italy and France were premiered in 2 digital shows: " Viborera " and " Morada " .
"The proposals found the performing arts, the circus and the audiovisual language to take the viewer on a path to the deepest part of himself, where his delusions, desires, fears, fantasies, drives, attractions and repulsions dwell. They are the floral and winding paths to the "unknown home" that each one of us inhabits. Pieces made in times of quarantine and at home "
