Circus Media Label is a creative and distributive music platform for creative talents. We take care of the production, mastering and distribution of digital assets, including musical files, filmography and social media pressence.
With the intention of healing a non-resolved trauma on our collective wound, we hold space to a psychomagic act that bridges the personal wound with the social unconscious. By the means of Historical reenactment, a performatic play casts a group of spanish soldiers invading another group of peaceful indigenous community. Giving it a role-play approach, the participants will be switched to the oposite group, so that every participant can have an understanding of both aspects of the story.
The final product of this Project is an educational video that will be distributed to other groups or organizations through social media, that will replicate the same excersise as part of their programs, and influence in the collective movement towards consciousness regarding contemporary forms of subtle colonization.

The village of San Marcos La Laguna, Guatemala, is where I found an opportunity to do some good for a stable family in need of a roof. They did not ask for his project, but I happened to overhear a conversation with my host when Mauricio and Marta came to my host to ask about a job for their son. They needed income because their roof was leaking. My host is invested in the Mayan people and loves to employ locals in his many projects. He is also a co-founder of a community organization that was first started during the pandemic to make sure those most in need had food. It has now expanded to include a variety of humanitary aid and funds education opportunities.
In this particular case, we came up with a plan to initially replace the roof (funded by donations), which also created a temporary job not only for their son, but several others, and added to the economy by buying supplies locally in the village. When the albañil came to evaluate the project, he found that the roof was actually holding their small4x6 meter home together! The adobe bricks were also seeping water, so it was not just the holes in their tin roof (100s of holes attempted to be sealed by bits of tape) causing the daily flood in the rainy season. This family of seven had been managing by moving the beds to create a walking path above the water. The project became much bigger. The walls needed to be replaced. This part is done, and now we just need to do the roof--the original part of the plan. Any donations will go directly to the project via Familia Utz Corazon. (You are welcome to use their link, this project just helps keep funds organized.)
Meet the Family!
Mauricio and Marta Olivia have five boys, two of whom have special needs. Other than Mauricio's jobs managing three properties, there is no fixed work for the family. Sometimes one boy gets an opportunity for one or two days, but it comes with another challenge: those working need extra food. Marta can only stretch the food by one tortilla and a tomato. She manages to feed the family of seven three meals a day for the equivalent of $7. Wow!
Mauricio's three jobs cover their food and basic bills--barely. The younger son with special needs almost died and spent a month in the hospital, so he is treated with extra caution and has to attend a private school. The cost is equivalent to $20 per month. That may not sound like a lot to those from the USA, but when the monthly income is equivalent to $250 per month, $20 is a big commitment! After all is said and done, what is left over (IF something is left over) is less than $2. At that rate, someone in the USA could go to Starbucks once every three months (if someone else drives and spends the money on gas).
Their needs exceed what $2 a month can do--like glasses, clothing, and especially a new roof. They also want to replace more of their adobe brick walls with cement block. During the rainy season (May through October), the water comes in from the ceiling and seeps into the house where the walls are weak.
