Los Peces No Vuelan (Fishes Don’t Fly)


How far would you let your dreams take you?

To witness the magic of theatre in this play

With the fading away of an old circus, an apparently quiet seaside unveils. In the meantime, two youngsters fall in love and their soles are all that we can see from below. A room spins and spins following an important encounter. A ticket for a forgotten show flies over a miniature town to end up in the hands of a young man who has lost his way. And so the fishes fly and fly...

The staging floats in the air, appears and fades out before us. Scenes see from above, from below, movements, devices and stage elements that actually fly, give life to the staging. The spaces change as the characters enter and exit, the dreams appear and coexist with a reality that is not real as well. Spanish Miguel Bregan-te, French Emilie Urbas, and Chilean set designer Eduardo Jimenez comprise the art direction of this collective creation in which the fusion of three nationalities has managed to generate an illusion that goes beyond borders and contributes to strengthening a playwriting that interweaves three intimate stories where charac- ters confront their dreams and themselves.
