Roxy & Fred

Roxy & Fred is a show inspired by the novel Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez, combining literature, theatre, image, music and dance at Salto Escénico in Madrid.

The production takes as its starting point Gabriel García Márquez's novel and is set during the presentation of a recent work by a famous writer. As the author unveils his book, the original story unfolds on stage: love affairs and misunderstandings, rapprochements and separations, the passage from youth to maturity, and a secret kept for an entire lifetime.

Three characters carry this storyline, which moves forward above all through the passing of time. The staging relies on a carefully crafted visual approach and choreography that accompanies each scene, with a musical selection that includes works by Piazzolla, Estrella Morente and Louis Armstrong.

It is a collage in which literature, theatre, image, music and dance come together. Roxy and Fred give their name to this show; Fred is an artist from the pop rock scene. The performance takes place at Salto Escénico, a Madrid venue that hosts concerts and shows.
