2 metres

Project title

A 2 mètres

Description of initiative

2 metres is a show that can be performed in front of the windows of a hospital (or other health facility) with a sound broadcasting in the rooms.
Three elements. Two acrobats on a Chinese pole and this oxygen, the invisible one which is everywhere in the air and yet missing in Jesse's body. With the help of Rocio, Jesse demonstrates that we don't stand on our fears, but on our dreams. He suffers from cystic fibrosis. Together, they evoke the fragility of our existence and the power of hope.
Discovering oneself, learning to help each other, to ask for help, learning to find the strength to realize oneself, so many themes approached with sincerity. A touching and generous show that allows human beings to be human.
