About the show<\/h3>\n

“Mentir lo M\u00ednimo” is a minimalistic performance that strives to eliminate everything that is not essential. Starring in the show are three bodies: a woman, a man, and a bicycle. This acrobatic bike duo humorously explores the relationship we have with our bodies.<\/p>\n

\u201cMentir lo m\u00ednimo\u201d is a show that, through its apparent simplicity, brings us closer to the complexity of self-acceptance. It is simple, poetic, and infused with touches of humor. The theme is presence; the subject is everyone\u2019s bodies.<\/p>\n

Artists question what is socially considered an \u201caesthetic defect.\u201d They ponder the meaning of beauty standards. They talk about their own bodies, showing them without deception, filters, or artifice. Sometimes they turn a disability into something beautiful. Sometimes they transform fragile beauty into something tense.<\/p>\n

\u201cMentir lo m\u00ednimo\u201d is a show that seeks to strip away everything unnecessary. Alta Gama explores the journey of three entities on stage: a woman, a man, and a bicycle, shedding layers to reach the essence, the minimum. What is the minimum? The minimum is the body itself and the relationship you have with it. Do you like it? Is it comfortable for you? Would you change it?<\/p>\n

Through their own bodies, the artists confront the audience with their bodies, their weight, their integrity, their capacity, and their condition. This confrontation arises from the fragility of balance and the awareness that, at any moment, this balance can be broken.<\/p>\n
