Everything that now exists has existed once for the very first time. They are the myths, ancient tales that take us precisely to the beginning of things... to the beginning of the universe, of the seasons, of men. They're the stories that everyone has within themselves, even if they do not yet know it.
On this journey, the essence to recount these narratives is stored inside a sculpture, the mitómóvel traveling by the hand of a storyteller... that, between light and shadow, between past and current, unveils the "stories of beginnings", some tragic some cheerful, always timeless and poetic. The early stories, the beginning of memory, the first Museum, the first drawing, the first beauty contest!...
This voyage ends with a challenge, a workshop, in which writing and visual arts meet to give way to the construction of a small story about "beginnings", reusing some material.
