André y Dorine

Contemporary non-verbal theatre piece in which an elderly couple, André y Dorine, confront illness and recover their past through a typewriter and a cello.

The production follows two elderly characters who, struck by an illness, try to rescue their story in order to continue recognising each other in the present. André is a writer and Dorine a cellist, and their relationship with the objects that define each profession, the typewriter and the instrument, structures the narrative.

The staging relies on the use of masks and dispenses with the spoken word: the story moves forward through gestures and objects, and shifts from drama to comedy without separating the two registers. It is conceived as a simple story about the power of affection and the weight of shared memories.

The show bears the signature of Kulunka Teatro, a company founded in 2010 that has taken its productions to more than forty countries in Europe, America and Asia, and which works with stories that do not depend on language.
