Copiar

Actually, copying is quite natural

Copying has a bad reputation. It is seen as a pejorative act, lacking originality and personality. This is surprising because, as social beings, we are constantly copying. We copy how others speak, how they move, how they dress... We all copy, and thanks to that, we connect, learn, and teach others. And society evolves. A group of children, who have had no prior rehearsal, embarks on a playful, emotional, and eclectic show where the only guide is copying. From a copy also comes an original.
