Obligado a abandonar la isla que lo vio nacer, Ángel ha tenido que reinventarse en otra tierra que es ahora también la suya: un espacio vital que le ha dado muchas oportunidades y que, sobre todo, le ha permitido construir un nuevo hogar junto a su hijo, le ha hecho descubrir el amor. Porque sin amor no tendríamos patria. En ningún lugar del mundo cabríamos, salvo allí donde él está.

A DOUBLE BILL OF NEW MULTIMEDIA/THEATRE WORKS BY LALA ARTISTS— ONE EXPLORING COMING OF AGE, THE OTHER, THE CONCEPT OF MEMORY.

Dov is a collaborative, solo physical theater work directed by Pioneer Winter for Izzi LieberPerson, who will be performing for the first time. Dov explores Izzi’s transition from a 12-to 13-year-old, using dance, monologue and his prodigious basketball skills as soundscore.

Extracted from a 20-year-old collection of MiniDV tapes, digitalized memories interact with existential narratives in a theatrical setting. Collaborators include composer Jose Luis de la Paz, dancers Roxana Barba and Liony Garcia, and actor Jose Manuel Dominguez.
