The art of the minstrel will be explored as an artist who takes his expressive abilities to the extreme to approach a narration with a critical and fun spirit, alone or in a group, accompanying himself with sound objects, musical instruments and his spoken and sung voice, using the elementary parameters that music delivers for the ordering of a creation (score, rhythm, counterpoint, harmony, aria, choir, solo, tutti, articulation, accentuation, dynamics, etc.) with the purpose of laying the foundations for a personal minstrel scene.

Each participant must bring a musical instrument or a sound object of their choice.
