*El Zorzal de l'exil* is a dialogue between circus and music. The sounds, blending rock, tango, folk, and techno, accompany the story of Zelmar, a South American exile who has sought refuge in France. Through his journey, we discover the political crises of the past, we rekindle their memory, we attempt to understand those of today, and to untangle the threads of repetition and fate. This story is an invitation to live—and to act—despite fear, by remaining constantly “in motion.”
