Tragicomedy in which Víctor Elías looks back over his life accompanied by his piano, with a look at prejudice, fear and the ability to laugh at oneself.

This production is pitched as a tragicomedy and combines autobiographical storytelling with the piano on stage. Víctor Elías recounts his life, although the show goes beyond the personal: it addresses prejudice, fear and the courage needed to overcome them, as well as the image we project of ourselves and the way we support ourselves and let ourselves be supported.

Among the facts the show covers are his period as the middle son of the Serrano family, his work as a keyboard player alongside great Spanish musicians and his career as a musical director and actor. The story unfolds in stages: childhood as a professional performer, youth as a ship adrift and the years spent fighting to fulfil dreams, with the idea that there are orderly lives and others that are more chaotic.

The venue, Teatros Luchana, is a Madrid space devoted mainly to theatre programming, and the show fits into that offering with a tone of humour and reflection on his own biography.
