Bajau is a visual fantasy where through objects, body and, the research of the water element as another actor in the scene, takes place an internal dialogue in someone who asks himself about his origin as species, his environment and his body wishing to be something that has been denied to him.
The show goes through a brother and sister imagination and their will to be someone else, on how this desire becomes reality, through their belief in play, living the experience in an amazing way.
In order to title this theatre experience, the company has chosen Bajau, the name of a Southeast Asian tribe that has adapted to live, at least for a long while, underwater.
Bajau is a trip where the water versatility drives us into a new universe, a new environment, a place to find ourselves, our origins and what we really want to be.
‘A beautiful visual poem based on the water that gushes everywhere (…) The company invites entire families to an oasis of peace with smiles and accomplice looks that add to the freshness of the water that resounds magically from between the sleeves of a Cirque du Soleil costume and with a suggestive music that transports us to a magical world’’.

‘Special effects, moving actions and a surprising scenography complete this risky proposal where poetry, gestural theatre and the manipulation of objects are also protagonists’.
