About
Compaña is a 50-minute circus-theater hybrid featuring juggling, object manipulation, and life-sized puppets. Performer Jesús Velasco plays a solitary character searching for human connection, using handmade props and surreal imagery to explore imagination and loneliness. The largely non-verbal show blends circus disciplines with puppet theater, designed for audiences aged 6 and up.
