Copiar
Copying has always had a bad reputation, but as social beings, we copy from the moment we are born until the end of our lives. Copiar is a playful, emotional, and eclectic performance where a group of 8-to-10-year-old children take centre stage. With Animal Religion, they explore copying as a creative tool, navigating between movement, light, and music with no guide other than this essential act.
Animal Religion is a contemporary circus company that embraces interdisciplinarity and the exploration of new stage languages. With more than ten years of experience, they have created nine shows in various formats and collaborated with over 30 artists from around the world. They have worked with institutions such as the TNC, Fira Tàrrega, Mercat de les Flors, and L’Auditori de Barcelona, receiving prestigious honours, including the 2016 Special City of Barcelona Award for Sifonòfor.
