Aprendiz de Golondrina

Aprendiz de Golondrina follows Mina, a non-conformist girl who seeks to understand the secret of life as she moves through different trades and crosses paths with two characters who change the way she sees the world.

The piece follows Mina, a determined little girl who wants to understand the meaning of life and sets out on a journey in search of answers. Along the way she takes on various trades as an apprentice: astronomer, gardener, assistant in a great museum and apprentice magician. She records everything she discovers in her diary, though she feels that something essential is still missing.

Her view of love and friendship changes when she meets Miguel, a boy with an important mission: to find stories that will give his country, the Island of Macadamia, a future and keep it from sinking into the ocean. Amador, a pedlar who travels the world with a backpack, swapping simple and peculiar objects, also appears, and he gives Mina a pair of glasses so that she can look at reality from a different point of view.

The title refers to a metaphor for the passage from childhood to maturity and pays tribute to those who, like swallows, always find their way back home, however far they travel.
