Las Toreras

Las Toreras is a contemporary theatre production that places the audience in a bullring, where two performers, la Grande de Tomares and el Niño de Blanca, tell a story through the bullfight at Teatros Luchana, Madrid.

This contemporary theatre show moves the action to a bullfight to set out a story about love. The two performers, la Grande de Tomares and el Niño de Blanca, face each other across the sand in a staging that presents the conflict as a way of narrating the relationship between them.

The piece is presented as a rite of recognition and an elegy in which meaning is sought in contradiction, with a constant duality between what the characters are and what they appear to be. Every gesture works as a question, and the silences weigh as much as the movement. Towards the end, the production puts a direct question to the audience about the ring: whether one is more bull or more bullfighter.
