Synopsis

"I am (k)not" is a contemporary circus piece, inspired by Álvaro de Campos' 'Tabacaria'.

The vertical rope is used both in the air and on the ground, and becomes an object that gives rise to a multitude of forms, symbols, and situations that transmit the emotions, memories, and dreams of a character who wanders endlessly in the world of thought, only to be surprised, again and again, by the pleasures and joys of life... like chocolates! I will never be nothing. I cannot want to be nothing. Apart from that, I have all the dreams of the world in me."
