"Poi connects with longing and vindicates one's own culture in the face of a lack of identity".

  • Última Hora, 2023

This is the story of a rural man trapped since childhood by the gyroscopic effect of his spinning top. A journey of twists and turns that transports us to the game, one of the most important states of life.

Merging circus arts with the popular game of spinning top and the roots of Mediterranean culture is the goal. The spinning top is a magical, ancestral game with hypnotic spins of more than 6000 years of history. A toy capable of stopping time, since the simple fact of observing allows us to isolate ourselves from the speed that governs our daily lives. It responds to a physical search of juggling and manipulation of the object, but also to artisanal research in the construction of the scenography and spinning tops that Guillem Vizcaíno himself has designed and built. The exploration of different woods, shapes, and tips has allowed him to create personal tops, such as one of the largest in the world that weighs 45 kg and that he throws with a rope of 15 meters.
