📖 A scenic game exploring imitation and learning

In Copiar, Quim Girón takes the stage alongside eight children aged 8 to 10 chosen directly from the audience. With no prior rehearsal and no foreknowledge of the action, they follow just one rule: to copy. Through movement, sound, and light, the adult artist and the young participants enter a dialogue where every performance turns into an unrepeatable creation.

The piece explores the paradox of belonging versus individuality, showing that reproducing an action never yields an exact replica, but rather an ancient way to learn and build community.
