Sinopsis

As the audience travels the corridors of an old telephone booth factory it encounters scenes between four characters who have lived there, locked up for more than a year, and continue their futile effort of searching for happiness through the love of the others.

This piece arose from the interest in exploring performance work in a space that was not the traditional stage of a theater. The theme of the confinement emerges precisely from the exploratory creative work within the confines of the factory.

The piece was motivated by the peace process that started in 2016, after more than seven decades of armed conflict in Colombia. Jorge and Juana were in the midst of the creative process as the peace process unfolded and it forced them to look at their own experience: young people from the urban middle class, from the big cities, who continued to live their life “normally” while the country bled to death. Jorge lived this experience between the 80s and 90s, Juana lived another chapter of the same history 15 years later.
