So often frowned upon, the art of copying – here joyfully reclaimed – is the thread that runs through this wordless performance for ages 8 and up. As co-creators of each show, children take part in an unforgettable immersive experience.
Led by acrobat Quim Giron, this not-quite-solo piece relies on the active participation of children, who slip seamlessly from the audience onto the stage. For once, Copiar invites your youngsters to mirror the performer’s movements, becoming performers in their own right.
Together, they build a one-of-a-kind performance, where the simple act of mimicking movements becomes an unexpectedly powerful way of revealing each child’s individuality. At the heart of a scenography where set, light and soundscape converse with one another, the children become the heroes of a magical microcosm.

Founded in 2012 by Quim Giron and Niklas Blomberg, Animal Religion is a Spanish contemporary circus company whose work rests on three pillars: movement, light and music. It brings the same curiosity, rigour and artistic freedom to its young-audience creations as to its shows for adults.
The company first came to prominence in 2013 with Indomador, which toured for six years, and has now been creating performances of all shapes and sizes for 14 years. In partnership with renowned cultural institutions, it has received numerous awards, including the Special Prize of the City of Barcelona for Sifonòforo in 2016 and the FETEN 2025 Award for Best Immersive Show for Copiar.
