Inspired by Tabacaria, a poem by Álvaro de Campos, I AM (K)NOT unites circus and dance to create a poetic universe that oscillates between obscurity and solace, between chaos and grace, between tranquillity and disquiet. The movements of a rope, used either vertically, in the air, and on the ground, originate a unique and authentic language, the voice of a character who wanders eternally in the world of thought.

In dialogue with the strings that hold us, that limit our access, but that also hold and contain us, that help us to climb beyond our dreams and wildest thoughts, I AM (K)NOT is a delicate reflection on the fragility of the human condition and the idea of the constant transformation of the physical and emotional states of each one of us, distinct individuals, in our journeys of constant transformation...

A knot. A thread unraveled. A line transforming. A trace fleeting. A body. A shadow. A home... A rope follows a character in what could be an instant or an eternity of thoughts...
