On a mission to discover the life giving liquid called water, four eccentric characters embark on a quest guided by an ancient transcript found in the desert. An enormous pipe structure needs to be built. With three Cirque du Soleil artists in the cast, the Barcelona based collaboration highlights skilled performance through an independent voice concerned about global warming. A multidisciplinary show that combines the narrative power of theatre, the spectacle of the circus, and the visually captivating world of corporeal mime. Accompanied this time by original music performed live by Mosaico Jazz Trio. A mobile scaffold as scenery is used, which is transformed throughout history, within the stage space. Four actors are performing the spectacle, two of them are on pneumatic stilts (compressed air stilts that allow acrobatic high jumps) and the other two performing on the floor. Different circus disciplines within the show are executed: object manipulation, acrobatics and jumps on stilts; jumps with double rope and a number of animation with audience participation. A choreographed and acrobatic staging, supported by the music, Voice Over and projections of an audiovisual animation.
