Manú
The beginning and the end. So many questions, yet so few answers. Intuition. Manú, a soldier exhausted by years of battles, ends his war today. A man too sensitive to endure cruelty should never have participated in it. Now, he has only one desire: to return home and find Magnolia, the woman who has been waiting for him.

The journey begins, seemingly insurmountable. Even worse, Manú no longer remembers the way home. But there is no time to dwell on it. He must look up, find himself, and move forward to embark on a journey into a world of illusions, where truth blends with fiction. Is it the real past, or just imagination? Manú no longer worries about defining the boundaries that have haunted him for years. Now, he simply wants to keep moving forward.

A mysterious box filled with dreams, water reflecting his fears, a wind that robs him of memories, and a rat-companion on his journey are nothing more than fantasies that stand in his way home. Sometimes Manú falls asleep. When he sleeps, it seems like he remembers, but he is unsure if it's a dream or reality. Nothing is certain. He continues forward until he understands the secret of his journey—life suspended in an immense universe. Time passes, racing wildly, and in the end, everything turns out to be pure illusion.

Casa del Silencio
Casa del Silencio is a Colombian theater of movement and gesture, founded in 1997, serving as a research, creative, and training laboratory focused on theater. Its main goal is to popularize the technique of corporeal mime, created by the master Etienne Decroux, along with the stylizations developed by Marcel Marceau, which contribute to the development of physical theater, forming the foundational training for actors.
