The performance begins with a dancer running to the front of the stage and shouting: "This is near!" and then runs to the back and shouts: "This is far!!!"

This is.What is this?, is a choreography that plays with the direction, placement and levels of the performers on stage, making each one of these elements an opportunity to create an unexpected story.

The principal objective of this performance is to activate the children's imagination through the simple suggestion of ideas, through the absurd games of each story, as well as through the use of different rhythms to create a magical world where the children can actively participate.
