Presentation

A wooden trunk full of magical tricks, a worn lamppost, a pair of pants with suspenders… just a few classic props and, presto, everything is set. In the expert hands of Wanda Mañas and Paulo Perelsztein, the poetry of small things comes to life in the form of acrobatics, juggling, and clowning. As a result of both their imagination and their skills, reality transforms into a waking dream where everyday life and objects take on a new twist. Their art opens new perspectives on the little things in life, creating a type of third eye that raises intriguing questions:

Can we see the wind or only feel its effect?

Why do we get goose pimples for no apparent reason?

What impish spirits are hidden amongst the objects of our daily lives?

These two Argentinian artists who are at the same time acrobats, actors, and balancers, have an answer to everything, or at least almost everything, in this performance that is a lyrical mix of aerial acrobatics and silent storytelling. And the driving force of it all is its sublime gift for evocation.

“At the frontier between the real world and the land of dreams, the third eye of Wanda Mañas and Paulo Perelsztein provide us with a new perspective on daily life beyond superficial appearances.” Nice-Matin.

Wanda Mañas and Paulo Perelsztein began planning out their future immediately after finishing their circus training in Argentina: they founded their own company and produced their first performance, Circo Cleta. This provided the opportunity to tour South America in 2013 with performances in Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Columbia, and Venezuela. After this tour, they opted to continue their careers in France, first through a professional apprenticeship at the École Piste d’Azur, the regional circus center for Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, then transitioning into the professional training program where they were able to further develop disciplines such as acrobatics, juggling, rings, hand-to-hand balancing, dance, role playing, or knife throwing... During their second year of professional training, they created a new company, El Tercer Ojo.
