Toni Santos is a cultural revivalist, play historian, and kinetic storyteller who travels time through the games we left behind. With a deep reverence for lost pastimes, Toni excavates forgotten sports, ancestral competitions, and community games that once defined how people moved, bonded, and thrived.
From ancient Mesoamerican ball courts to medieval street games, nomadic strategy contests, and pre-colonial ritual play, Toni revives rulebooks that were never digitized—and champions a worldview where games weren’t just leisure, but meaning, skill, and survival.
Combining ethnography, movement studies, game design, and oral tradition, he reconstructs games piece by piece, consulting archives, elders, and fragments of folklore. His mission is not only to replay the past, but to inspire new generations to rediscover joy in rules that challenge, unite, and reflect forgotten values.
At the helm of Vizovex, Toni documents these rediscoveries with playable guides, interactive reconstructions, motion-capture reenactments, and interviews with guardians of ancient play. His platform speaks to:
Experimental game designers and kinetic anthropologists
Educators looking to decolonize sports curriculums
Movement artists and cultural preservationists
Playful minds seeking what we once valued in the games we played
Whether it’s reimagining a Viking endurance sport, mapping traditional Māori games, or crafting tournaments for extinct athletic rites, Toni urges us to move like our ancestors once did—and play with purpose again.
