"I am you" is a non-verbal physical theatre performance created by Raúl "Nene" Vargas Torres, a self-taught acrobat, juggler and actor. He invites the audience to share his microcosm in which the cyclical history of Latin-America reveals itself as a merry-go-round where the amateur citizen sits on the carrousel horse alongside the professional dictator. "Nene" plays with both positions in his own carnivalesque and grotesque theatrical idiom, addressing basic issues such as power, love, double moral standards, the profane and the sacred.
