La Máquina del Temps: An Electronic and Circus Cultural Journey
La Màquina del Temps is an innovative audiovisual project that connects the cultural heritage of Andorra with the public through unique experiences of electronic music and circus arts. Initially launched as "Electro Art" on New Year's Eve in 2020 and broadcast by RTVA, it made a significant impact by reaching homes during the pandemic. Since then, it has been featured in museums during New Year's celebrations and has created chapters at iconic locations in Andorra, such as Sant Romà de les Bons, Roc del Quer, and the Solar Clock of the Valls d'Arcalís, with both local and international artists. Objective and Future: With the support of cultural institutions, La Máquina del Tiempo aims to continue highlighting Andorra’s heritage while opening space for DJs and visual artists in future editions. The goal is to expand the possibilities for cultural and artistic expression in a contemporary and accessible format, enriching the artistic landscape and reaching a broader audience.
