BROKEN THREAD. THE COMING ONE

The family of Antonio, an elderly man suffering from Alzheimer's disease, desperately searches for him with the help of their neighbors. An hour and 20 minutes of dance, avant-garde, and emotion.

Tickets: €16 and €12

Hilo roto is a cry to the heavens for all those who forget their memories and also for those who indirectly suffer from this forgetfulness. The harsh story of Antonio, told by his daughter, his wife, and four neighbors, shows us different everyday scenes from the life of someone with Alzheimer's disease. Inspired by 1940s Spain, the costumes and set design take the scene back in time.

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