00:05I think Mocho is the representation that I give to a concept
00:12where it is not only to have a bra, but to have it imaginary.
00:18It is the word that people know for a physical limitation.
00:23Mocho is a person who has been able to overcome many challenges
00:27to be able to achieve their dreams.
00:39To have a physical limitation is something complex,
00:43because there are many points of view,
00:46both in your family, in your society
00:49and in your school, when one is a child.
00:53For every person who is born with a disability,
00:57there are two factors, the symptom of bullying
01:00and the symptom of having to help him because he can't.
01:04So I think I had to fight against those two things.
01:08For a theater scene that we were doing based on a song,
01:13I wanted to postulate a person
01:15and there came a comment from someone who said
01:19why they are going to choose him if he doesn't have a man.
01:23At that moment, the comment was very hard,
01:25because I could only discover how to destroy my disability,
01:31or not say my disability,
01:32the failure of a member,
01:34I could destroy it and I could leave it back
01:37at the age of 14 years.
01:43After the age of 14, I had to overcome the limitations of not having a member.
01:50After that, I understood that the limitations are not physical, but mental.
01:58When there was any discrimination, I didn't stop.
02:02For a while, I can be more than one person common and common.
02:09I'm the same as you, I can do my shoes, I can do my shoes,
02:13I can do my legs, I can do my hands, I can do my hands, I can do my things.
02:18How did you play?
02:19I do always play Diabolo.
02:21I think I play Diabolo from my 10 years old.
02:27I discovered the talent to be able to manage myself with all this.
02:32Once I lost 10th grade, my mother would not collaborate much with the study
02:37that I had left that year, and I discovered that there were people,
02:43there were people who played malabarists in the semáfores
02:48and they were recourseing to be able to pay their studies or more.
02:53And that was for 10th grade, I started to be Diabolo.
02:57When I left school, I had a basic knowledge about what was the circus,
03:02what was the malabar, what was the theater,
03:04and I combined both things, not only in one stage,
03:09but in everything that was my daily life.
03:12Like a teacher said,
03:13or some day, the art is not only expressed in a table
03:17or in a circus scene,
03:22but where you can do what you love, what you want to do,
03:26that is a scene.
03:27So I started to take these scenes,
03:30both in the wheelchair and all this,
03:32not only as an artistic scene,
03:35but a stage to train,
03:38to self-gestion myself,
03:40not only my journey,
03:41but also all the daily expenses of my daily life.
03:45Good morning.
03:46My daily life is a life of a semáforo,
03:49my life is...
03:52I say, as Toretto said,
03:54in Rápido y Furioso,
03:55I live the rhythm of the semáforo,
03:57the rhythm of the green, the yellow and the red.
03:59And it's very nice,
04:01because one sees things very crazy,
04:05people who collaborate with you,
04:08people who collaborate with you.
04:12It's very nice to be in a semáforo
04:15and not to receive the discrimination of the people,
04:17but to say,
04:18that's nice what you do,
04:19I'm happy to say,
04:20I'm happy to go ahead.
04:21So those are reasons for one to say,
04:23oye, I'm going to continue on my own,
04:25I'm going to continue on my own,
04:26I'm going to continue on what I love,
04:26because people like what they see
04:29and what they see,
04:30and what they see,
04:30I really feel that it's beautiful.
04:35The disability is something mental,
04:38something that we humans have when we say
04:43we can't.
04:44The no-power is a disability,
04:47and the disability is something trivial,
04:50we can see people who can win competition,
04:55there are not many horses,
04:55there are people who don't have any two legs,
04:58or two legs,
04:59and they can handle a car,
05:02or they have just been able to cross a river
05:05with their trunk.
05:06Attention!
05:09My dream is to triumph with my malabares, to reach very far, to represent not only Colombia,
05:17but to represent what I am in the world, that everything can be done with pride, with dedication
05:25and that there are no limits for what you want.
05:29That you can do many things if you want and you give love to what you love.
05:33Thank you!
05:36Good day!
05:44Llegó!
06:04Let's do it again.
06:05We're at the top, but we're going to run away.
06:08We are going to run away.
06:09I'm Joel!
06:09I'm sure if you aren't willing to run away with me, but I'm curious.
06:09But I think it's your first name to the God of the church.
06:10It's your first name to God of the church and make the church.
06:10I'm going back to the church's church.
06:10I love you.
