André and Dorine

The Kulunka Teatro Company celebrates its 15th anniversary this season and presents its trilogy: André and Dorine, Solitudes and Forever. André and Dorine is a moving story of an elderly couple whose uneventful life is disrupted by illness. Dressed in masks and without uttering a single word, this production offers a reflection of happiness and living with Alzheimer’s from 17 to 19 September at the Teatro Español.   

The writer André and the cellist Dorine need to remember who they have been so as not to forget who they are. They do so through their jobs and the relationship with their objects: the typewriter for André and the cello for Dorine.  This show embarks on an emotional journey without uttering a single word and using the power of the mask to navigate between drama and comedy, love and oblivion, life and death.

This show is coming to Madrid after having been performed in more than 30 countries over three years and winning major awards, such as the Audience Prize - Feria Ibérica de Fundao 2023; Excellence Award - New York International Art Award Foundation (USA) 2022 or the Best Ensemble Award - Los Angeles Critics Circle Awards (USA) 2015, among others.
