We all know that tales help children in accepting, comforting, and overcoming their great fears. The tales accompany us so that we can face the cannibal forces, overcome the turbulence of puberty, helping to make us adults.
The vaults of childhood were opened in search of a magical memory from which images of ancient tales could emerge:
A life that is contained within our inner castle, built like a mushroom.
A small space made of felt, like little initiation box, where secrets and fears murmur, revealed by the power of legends and where words are whispered and sung. Here the motion of the circus includes, in its intimacy, both pain and grace, evoking an ancestral sacrifice.
What is a princess today?
Many things!
A way of talking about love.
