It is a reflection of generational conflicts and those of any family whose members love and reproach each other in equal measures. It sets out to reflect the feminine universe of a home full of humour, tenderness, sorrow and secrets... A reflection on decrepitude and the making of vital decisions. It is a family’s struggle between taking flight or staying put, taking charge or delegating. All in all, it is the yearning for an idyllic summer to melt away a harsh and endless December.Performing artsVERANO EN DICIEMBRE, BY COMPAÑÍA LA BELLOCH146Results ‘14
