MAIS IMAGINARIUS
Galumphing begins with a simple and persistent gesture, the belief that dreaming is still possible. In a present marked by uncertainty, fatigue and repetition, Manteca al dente creates a small universe where desire does not disappear, even when everything seems fragile, unstable or on the verge of failure. The scene emerges from almost nothing and is gradually built, inviting the audience into a territory where imagining is already a form of resistance.
Between humour, juggling and gestural precision, the performance unfolds as a succession of attempts, advances and retreats. Every action carries risk, every balance demands attention, every failure opens space for a new possibility. Dreaming does not appear as distant fantasy, but as everyday practice, shaped by will, persistence and sharing.
Galumphing affirms that, today more than ever, the way forward is not individual. The future is not built alone. Between tenderness and irony, the performance transforms public space into a place of listening and complicity, where continuing to dream becomes a collective gesture.
