BROKEN THREAD. THE COMING

The family of Antonio, an elderly man suffering from Alzheimer's disease, desperately seeks, together with his neighbors, to reunite with him. An hour and 20 minutes of dance, avant-garde and emotion.

Tickets: 16€ and 12€.

Broken Thread is a cry to heaven for all those people who forget their memories and also for those who indirectly suffer from this forgetfulness. Antonio's hard story, told by his daughter, his wife and four neighbors, shows us different daily scenes of the life of an Alzheimer's patient. Inspired by the Spain of the 40's, the costumes and scenery turn the scene into a time warp.

In the work, Spanish dance, flamenco and contemporary dance find a common language with which their performers exploit their expressive and technical potential to the maximum.
