Quiero imaginar un mundo

Written and directed by Lautaro Perotti and Claudio Tolcachir, this production for children offers an absurd yet meaningful journey. A journalist, tired of living surrounded by conflict, is searching for a good piece of news capable of changing the course of things, and his quest leads him to Elpis, a mother who, together with her five children, plans to build a flying contraption from discarded materials and bird droppings in order to reach Mount Olympus.

Along the way, they meet Ornis, a wary bird father who, like Elpis, wants to shield his chicks from violence. At the summit, the Bureaucrat of the Hats guards a weakened Peace who, dominated by the spirit of War, has lost her voice. The story is resolved when the children and the fledglings sing a collective song that breaks the spell.

The piece grew out of workshops with children in which themes such as violence, a lack of acceptance and the difficulties of getting along with people who are different emerged. On the stage of the Sala Francisco Nieva at the Teatro Valle-Inclán, the production concludes with a musical and collective ceremony in which all the voices join together to imagine another world.
