El vuelo del moscardón (The Flight of the Bumblebee)

El vuelo del moscardón (The Flight of the Bumblebee) it was born under the premise of presenting a character with two very different facets depending on the environment in which he moves. The action takes place in a single set located on a platform that, when rotated, shows and hides information, dosing it and playing with what the viewer can see and what not, closely linking form and content.
