Dibuixant de laberints

Do we ever stop feeling lost?

Dibuixant de laberints draws on autofiction: a child who kept drawing mazes, perhaps for fun or perhaps in search of a way out, becomes years later an adult who feels just as lost as before. The piece combines humour, autofiction and magical realism to address the fear of not knowing which path to follow in a world that demands certainties.

The narration proposes returning to the Horta labyrinth, which the protagonist visited as a child, and setting off there on a journey through its depths, with mirror games, ghosts and mythological beings. Among the figures that appear are the Minotaur from Greek mythology and Doraemon, the cosmic cat, a pop culture icon.

On stage, Nil Martín and Carla Coll share the cast of this production, written by Nil Martín López, directed by Júlia Valdivielso, with a voice-over by David Vert. The show sits within the realm of stand-up and comedy, with audiovisual resources and dramaturgical advice from Joan Yago, and is presented at Teatre El Maldà in Barcelona.
