Suaveciclo brings art to all audiences, creating unique moments between the city and the viewer. In their imaginative universe, VJ Suave addresses contemporary themes, accompanied by ambient sound that enhances the performance. The project has participated in film, music, and festivals worldwide that use light and fire (Festival of Lights).
