La Tristura
- Spain
- Theater
As part of the EUROPALIA ESPAÑA festival, La Tristura takes us deep into the intimacy of a teenage night. At an impromptu party on the outskirts of town, a group of friends gather to drink, dance, talk and flirt. Who are these beginners in life? Are they so different from those of 20 years ago? Will they realise their dreams? And what about ours?
