Orígens
ORIGiNS is a memory play that blurs the boundaries between theater and real life.
Erasing the boundaries between theater and life, reinterprets history to connect it with the present. Through fragments of the lives of great-grandmothers, grandmothers and mothers, the set of scenes depict a plurality of attitudes, in different times and circumstances.
Va de Bolero (It's about the Bolero)
Inspired by real characters, we discover aspects of boleros that will surprise us and that will change our perception of some songs. The play tells us about women composers and the circumstances that inspired them to write the lyrics of their songs.
