Loop

Synopsis: There are questions that cut across generations: who are we when we try not to resemble our parents?

Loop poses questions that cut across generations: who we are when we try not to resemble our parents, and what mark we leave, without meaning to, on our children. The piece rests on the clash between a father and his daughter, each of whom believes they know more than the other and who cannot find a way to say what they think.

The text is by Ramon Madaula Canadell and the direction is by Mònica Bofill. On stage, Júlia Genís and Ramon Madaula play the two characters, in a two-performer production that focuses on dialogue and on the difficulty of understanding one another within a family.

The production describes the bond as an emotional struggle: loving someone without ever fully understanding them, and trying to understand them without ceasing to disagree. It is a show designed for anyone who wants to see how theatre tackles the tensions between parents and children, at the Ateneu in Castellar del Vallès.
