An apocalyptic tale of the last two defenders of oil and plastic on Earth
Immersed in a plastic tide, we are led to the very essence of this object—the ring. We get lost in its immensity. Gradually, the space transforms. The emptiness of the stage is replaced by plastic and color. The rings become increasingly significant until we are swallowed by their very presence. Could this be a laboratory where we create and destroy, where we see ourselves as riders of a universe we ultimately cannot control?
The performance itself is a living testimony to the exploration of the ring and the infinite possibilities offered by this object. The artists weave stories and situations on stage with the same naturalness and illusion as children at play.

Los Putos Makinas (CIE LPM), is a collective of circus jugglers originally founded around the trio PITI PETA HOFEN SHOW, composed of Andres Torres Diaz, Lucas Castelo Branco, and Johannes Bauhofer. This all-terrain show has been performed over 150 times around the world since 2017. Juan Duarte Mateos and Rodrigo Gil Ruiz joined the crew for the creation of the show TUTTI FRUTTI, which premiered in 2020. More recently, Gonzalo Fernandez Rodriguez joined LPM for the duo performance PETROLEO.
LPM’s signature style is characterized by highly dramatized staging that conveys a satirical message. In a burlesque tone, the collective inhabits a world of absurdity to highlight the inconsistencies that shape our lives.
