   Birakolore invites us to witness the re-emergence of vital wildlife through cracks in the concrete.

   Guided by an elderly couple from a rural and simpler universe along a parade of sensations and colors, we are reminded of what existed under our feet before the concrete. They challenge our perception of the immediate urban environment and reignite in us a sense of wonder for planting new seeds and tending new life.

   Their wisdom and tender ways demonstrate love in its purest form and call on us to embrace simplicity and open up to the truths or our shared inheritance. Our ancestors, our relationship with the natural environment and the cycles of life. Our future.

BIRAKOLORE DOSSIER

valeria AND basilio 

Basilio and Valeria, an elderly couple, have decided to take action. Perhaps the action of their lives. From their barn they recover an old chariot, a watering can and tools to carry out their plan. Planting life in the streets of cities, delivering wisdom, sowing love towards the surrounding and the people that constitute its present and future, offering messages in the form of poetry.

They know that every flower, every tree, every seed is beauty itself and deserves our full attention and admiration. With this knowledge, they will take us on an urban tour and will transform the frenetic rhythm of the city into an unhurried, delicate, slow gesture that compels the bystanders to get involved.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It is the miracle of puppets turned into a street reality. They have created a beautiful street theatre style, full of subtleties and poetry.
