Spin Oz

A children's show in which Dorothy, now a teenager, returns to the land of Oz to help her friends. Dramaturgy by Unay Ferrer and direction by Rosa Fernández Cruz, at the Teatro Infanta Isabel in Madrid.

Dorothy has grown up and insists that, in Kansas, where she lives with her aunt and uncle, Emma and Henry, people treat her like a grown-up. A tornado sends her back to the land of Oz, because the fairy Glinda needs her: the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Lion are going through a bad patch and ask for her help. To reach them, the heroine will have to retrace the yellow brick road.

The story unfolds as a journey of growing up. Along the way, Dorothy discovers that affection between friends and the ability to accept oneself as one is are the starting point for accepting those around her too. It is an approach designed for a young audience, with Oz's classic characters reinterpreted through the eyes of a heroine who wants to stop being treated as a little girl.

The dramaturgy is by Unay Ferrer, who is also part of the cast alongside Laura Rico. Rosa Fernández Cruz directs, with video design by Emilio Valenzuela, costumes by Sabina Atlanta and original music by Dustin Calderón. The production brings together Coart+e Producciones, Óscar Carnicero and Compañía Nuro. The performance takes place at the Teatro Infanta Isabel, a Madrid venue that hosts concerts and shows.
