Visual Story (PDF) , external link.

Carolina is a collector. While others sleep and dream, letting their imagination run wild, she spins and twirls, she goes in circles, she hunts and keeps what is most beautiful and important, the things that often escape us. Carolina is a dream collector. She loves lines because each line is a path: to the sea, to the forest, to mermaids and spiders, to peacocks and an Eskimo chef. And she loves lines because they can touch each other at the tips and spin, spin, spin.

 

Whirlwind (The Girl and the Circle) is a performance that combines circus, dance, drawing, and music. It takes you on a journey through the territory of dreams and imagination.
