One Night at the Golden Bar

- Theater
As part of the EUROPALIA ESPAÑA festival, "One Night at the Golden Bar" is a musical declaration of queer love. Alberto Cortés’ declaration comes to life in a golden bar, a place suspended between dream and reality. An unexpected force takes over – the desperate, politically incorrect and infinite power of love.
