Commissioned by Barcelona’s Opera House, this project was set up as a dialogue between the works of Spanish national treasure painter and sculptor Antonio López and the world of suffering evoked by the music of Schubert's Winterreise. Themes of solitude and self-isolation, conveying traumas, longing, hopes and fears all come to play in this bold and exciting staging, located within the notorious and now-defunct prison La Model.

In the tiny kitchen of a fast-food restaurant The Golden Dragon, we find a Chinese man who was sent to Western Europe by his family to look for his sister. He suffers from excruciating toothache, but a visit to the dentist is out of the question as he has no valid papers. At the same time, his sister, who also entered the country illegally, is taken in by an ant in the same building without him knowing it. The story of the siblings (so close and yet so far from each other) forms the bracket for several narratives about that contempt for human beings with which social minorities are met.

Immersed in the seemingly idyllic world of summer pastimes, the two teenagers embark upon a first relationship, each searching for identity and acceptance. But soon, they become dangerously consumed by the camp’s real aim: the preaching of Nazi ideology that will ultimately threaten to destroy them, and set the worldwide stage for global atrocity, devastation and genocide.

Astrid Lindgren’s beloved fairytale about courage, sibling love, battling against evil and about death. Theatre for children on a grand scale.
/
Karl is frail and afraid because he knows he will soon die. His brother Jonathan tells him about the land of Nangijala, where you are spirited off before leaving this world. It is a place of campfires and storytelling. The source of all adventures, in fact. But there are also adventures that should never take place. The two boys are united in Nangijala as the Brothers Lionheart and fight for freedom in Thorn Rose Valley, one of Nangijala’s two valleys, which is occupied by evil Tengil.
