Piedra, Papel o Tijera - Mago Nicols

Magic and circus show for children in which the game of rock, paper, scissors becomes three symbolic worlds, with the young audience constantly taking part.

Rock, paper, scissors, the world's best-known game, is the starting point of this show, which takes audiences through three symbolic worlds, each with its own aesthetic and its surprises. Each of these worlds is built around an element of the game, and from there Mago Nicols creates a staging of magic and theatre that goes beyond a succession of tricks.

Mago Nicols has a natural comic flair that keeps the children attentive and involved. He keeps an eye on each of the little ones, invites them to take part and has a small gesture for every audience member. At the end, each spectator takes home a small coloured stone as a keepsake.

The show is designed for the youngest audience members, although it also appeals to adults who want to remember what it is like to be taken by surprise. Among the names linked to the production is Piedra. Those who have attended praise the way Mago Nicols explains things, which connects with the children.
