ABOUT US
Inspired by the 16th century Cervantine term, "Tercia Naturaleza", which reveals a third reality in which fantasy and the real world meet and merge. Tercia Realidad is a musical utopia directed by Jorge Jiménez in which music goes back to its origins as a language to express emotions and feelings, as well as a fusion of personalities, ideas and sounds.
