Manga is literally translated as «whimsical drawings» or «doodles».

This Japanese word is used to refer to the cartoon in general.

The Japanese also called Manga «insignificant images».

On stage, three women. Dancers, actresses, characters of a comic book? Laminated heroines who move between physical theatre and dance, between surrealism of their strident hairs and the possibilities of the multimedia scene.

Together, Diana Bonilla, Cristina Pérez Sosa and Mey-Ling Bisogno transport us to the universe of Manga or the strange disappearance of Ultra Chic and Freak, a mixed fantasy about transformation, the desire to be somebody else and the movement.
