Españul - Lamine Thior

Led by Lamine Thior, Españul is a journey of 5,000 kilometres without leaving your seat, in which Thior recounts his origins, from Senegal to Algeciras, where he grew up, and the vicissitudes…

Lamine Thior takes to the stage to tell his personal story, which begins in Senegal and leads to Algeciras, where he spent his childhood and youth. Throughout the performance he traces the obstacles he has encountered in Spain, addressing them through reflection and in a warm, familiar tone.

The show combines moments of reflection with passages of humour, and its message revolves around personal overcoming and the need to break down barriers. The piece is presented as a first-person narrative, with no staging beyond the voice and presence of the performer.

The performance is staged at the Teatro Capitol, a Madrid venue that hosts shows of many different genres, and is aimed at audiences who want to hear a personal story told with a critical yet entertaining outlook.
