K.OS is currently in the creation and production process ahead of its premiere in 2026, and will be available for touring from January 2027.
Selected for the State Performing Arts Circuit “España en Libertad. 50 años”.
K.OS emerges from the need to remember through the body. Inspired by the bombing of Gernika and the imagery of Picasso’s Guernica, the piece reflects on violence, exile, loss and human resilience. Through contemporary circus, dance and original music, it proposes a visual and emotional experience that connects the past with the conflicts of the present.
SYNOPSIS:
A young woman discovers a box of letters that were never sent. Through them, K.OS reconstructs a human landscape inspired by the figures of Picasso’s Guernica: bodies suspended between war, loss and resistance.
Contemporary circus, dance and original music come together in a large-scale visual experience about memory and human fragility.
K.OS
A large-scale contemporary circus production inspired by the symbolic universe of Guernica.
