The scenery is a factory close to the Bilbao river, in the middle of the 20th century. In there, several people work long hours during day and night. Their condition is close to slavery.
The job in this factory is music and circus. The actions are carried away through balance and aerial stunts guided by the rhythm of unique Basque musical instruments.
It is a musical show of contemporary circus that tells the story of a rebellion in a small community, when a group of men and women face the abuse they suffer in their workplace. The characters shift between the absurd, the comic and the working class tradition linked to the factory environment of the 60’s.
