Ákri by Manel Rosés
Ákri is the solo show by acrobat Manel Rosés, in which a 22-step staircase is the main protagonist. This piece merges acrobatics with theatrical and clown techniques to explore the concepts of threshold and transformation.
Through three stage spaces representing the inside, outside and threshold, the show invites the audience to go on an emotional journey with the protagonist while reflecting on change and transition, showing the art of circus as a universal form of expression.
The staircase connects directly with Miró's symbol of the ladder, which represents hope and freedom, showing it as a means to escape from reality and reach an imaginary, free world. Thus, in Ákri, the staircase not only serves as a physical tool of acrobatics, but also as a metaphorical symbol of transformation and overcoming limits.
