THE PROJECT / Don Baltha is an autobiographical project that combines juggling with Afrosurrealism. It is based on the artist’s lived experience: as the only Black child in his school in Ecuador, he was systematically cast as King Balthazar throughout his childhood. From this experience of identity assignment, the artist questions the place of non-white artists within the contemporary cultural landscape.

Through a scenography that blends analog, digital, and electrical techniques, the project revisits a personal history to connect it with a collective one – aiming both to reclaim this narrative and to break free from it. The performance invites the audience to reflect on the formative experiences that build our identities.
