The stranded mermaid, by Alejandro Casona
Management: Maite Serna
Assistant to the Director: Inés Castresana
Theater group: Mutis por el foro

Synopsis:

A group of characters tries to escape from a disappointing and painful reality, creating their own refuge: a place where they can invent a new life, without reasoning or disciplines, that only obeys the power of their imagination. A ghost who wants to be a gardener, but finds out he is dead and is Napoleon; a mermaid who comes out of the sea in search of her beloved; an imaginary tree that always gets in the way; or a blindfolded painter are some of the characters of this unreal world. But when love gets in the way, everything will begin to change, because when we love someone, we want to know the truth and not live in dreams.
