The casting of pieces and the quality in their performing will make that PerKu-Va’ s program surprise you not only due to the strong rhythm sense, also  the expressive and artistic care, everything fixed by a stage theatre view which will keep you floating on your seat until the end of the show wishing never the end of it.
