La Azotea

A comedy following Ángel and Susi, two strangers who meet one night on the roof of a large building, both determined to end their problems. Through confidences and dreams, the conversation reveals they have more in common than they expected.

The piece opens in the middle of the night, on the roof of a building in a large city. Ángel goes up there intending to put an end to his problems, but his solitude is interrupted by the arrival of Susi, a young woman who seems to have climbed up with a similar purpose. What begins as an awkward encounter turns into a conversation in which the two discover unexpected affinities.

The text plays with the sense of time: it seems late, though the question of whether it truly is accompanies the scene. Each character has their own reasons for being there, and the performance moves forward as those reasons are gradually revealed. The work sits within the register of comedy and addresses themes such as dreams, fears, love and life.

It is a production designed for an adult audience who enjoy stories with two characters and humour that coexists with delicate matters. It is staged at the Arlequín Gran Vía Teatro, on calle San Bernardo in Madrid, as part of the venue's programme of shows.
