The world we live in has deep roots.

Let's develop the life in the mind and the respect of life.

We have to preserve the purity of the Earth because it is our only gift.

At the markets, at festivals and always in the street, this is a very easy to handle show without any heavy structure. It comes from the alternative culture and aims at the "re-appropriation" of time and space in the street.

In 1987, Native American nations had a session at the UNO in Geneva. Each tribe had 15 minutes to express their point of view.

This show is an extension of the message sent to Western peoples by the peoples who strive to protect peace and harmony on Earth.

In short : « We must protect the purity of our planet for it is our only gift. »

The Circle is an allegory, a summary of fourty thousand years of human evolution on Earth with the elements.
From Cave Man to Future Man, Spirale will keep up playing the Circle in the street, mainly for the street.
