ABYA YALA TOUR
DECEMBER 2015-OCTOBER 2019

They call them poor

And they know how to cultivate the land

They call them poor

Because he walks barefoot, while the secret is in feeling the pacha

They call them poor

And they are guardians of the languages ​​of America

They call them poor

And they make their clothes loaded with history

They call them poor

And they are the best at locating in their territory

They call them poor

And they, they, are masters of contemplation

They call them poor

And they are the ones who defend the mountains and rivers

They call them poor

And they know which plants heal and which ones poison

They call them poor

Because they cook with wood

They call them poor

While they know about rituals and thanking the ancestors

They call them poor

While the 83-year-old granny walks to the mountains to look for firewood and carries it on her back

They call them poor

And they can work in extreme situations and without rest

They call them poor

And they are the ones who continue to barter

They call them poor

While they do not speak of community, cooperation and humility but they do know how to practice it

They call them poor

And they have incredible organizational skills

They call them poor

And they continue to guide their planting by the moon

They call them poor

And they know how to take care of their crops without chemicals that alter the process

They call them poor

And they know how to save seeds for next year

They call them poor

And when I listen to it, the same question always pops into my head ... how is poverty measured?

THE TOUR

During 3 years and 10 months uninterrupted, the company toured 14 countries of Latin America. With hope on our shoulders and a removable wooden bench that was part of Lucidez's scenery, we set out to explore the continent where we were born. We start looking for our identity as artists and human beings and we come across countless stories, landscapes, people, animals, plants, struggles, resistance and mysteries. At every step the family grew as did our hearts and our stage research.

SUMMARY

The activities carried out included collaborations with other theatrical collectives, hospital clown groups, indigenous communities, educational institutions, hospital interventions, interventions in popular markets and other public places, participation in theater festivals, clown festivals, community theater festivals, artistic consultancies, cultural exchanges , theoretical reflections, social circus projects, community theater projects, which celebrate theater as an art of encounter.

Testimonials

"El Tapeque Circus, an initiative of the Artistic Creative Center Educar es Fiesta, is a Social Circus constituted as the first educational circus in Bolivia, consolidating an Artistic-Educational proposal, innovative and inspiring, inclusive and with strong principles of believing in the subject -person as creator and transformer of life through art.

 

In August we had the pleasant visit of the Uruguayan company, theater and research "Amares Social Clown", who made an internship offering their talent and professional work in Clown Theater and Acrobatics, during their stay.

 

The three artists moved to the Community Culture Houses of our institution and shared their art with children participating in these spaces, presenting the work "Encanto". They also performed the clownesque theatrical show "Lucidez" in the tent of Circo el Tapeque. In each of the presentations caused a lot of emotion and a very positive impact, both in children and adults. His scenic interpretation is of a unique charisma, his work being careful and demanding, revealing a relevant respect to his audience. We consider that his contribution to the processes of social transformation through art is very important."

Edson Quezada Rodríguez

Pedagogical Coordinator

Educar es Fiesta

"Accomplice is a word that can lead us to think for better or worse about something, but this time I will tell you that it was for the better, since Estacion, acting as promoter in 2016 and as producer of the II Chiclayo International Theater Festival in 2019 Meet the Amares Teatro and this turned out to be an enriching experience, a healthy and hopeful experience, both for its staging that we could appreciate in Chiclayo, the workshops and the friendly and human relationship. With this I say that it is an integral experience because I do not think I can separate, in this case so clearly, the artist from the person. Andrés, Betina and at the time, Federico showed us, in addition to their talent, what it means to be consistent with a vision of life and this, transmitted through the theater, the clown and the circus. His professionalism and sensitivity have been outstanding characteristics of Amares Teatro that have inspired us in each of the meetings. "
