La Extinción de los Dinosaurios

A black comedy by playwright Fran Nortes that weaves together abuse of power, work, family, money and death, asking how far one is willing to go for a better life. It is staged at Teatro Lara in Madrid.

“La Extinción de los Dinosaurios” is a black comedy written by playwright Fran Nortes. The play examines how abusive authority, working life, family ties, money and death intersect, and does so through humour without softening the harshness of the conflicts.

On stage, the text portrays the mechanisms, some subtle and others less so, that sustain injustice and unchecked control, and asks audiences to consider which structures allow these imbalances to endure. At its core is how far one is willing to go for a better life, with the ethical and moral boundaries that emerge when decisions become difficult.

The show is staged at Teatro Lara in Madrid and invites the audience to reflect on human beings and their dilemmas, with dialogue as a natural consequence of what is seen on stage.
