Some days are full of strong emotions. February 16th was such a day. We were nominated for Artiste pour la Paix 2014 (Artist for Peace 2014). It is an immense honour for us to share this recognition with you, our audiences who come to see us around the world. Thank you! We will keep striving to promote peace and solidarity throughout every creation.

The show has been presented in Colombia and in Mexico. Other shows mentioned include Intersection, a show that is based on the idea of intimate exchange with the audience.
