Both shows of company Voilá Producciones sold out
The Auditorio de Tenerife has scheduled for next week in its La Salita hall the family-oriented show Lua. Tickets have already sold out for both performances of the company Voilá Producciones, which are to take place on Thursday, 24 April at 6 p.m. and Friday, 25 April. The Madrid-based company, which specialises in creating family-friendly content, will also give six performances of the show for schoolchildren on the mornings of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Lua is about fear of the unknown. Light is among the cast of characters in this story about light and shadow. Appearing on a simple wooden stairway of an old building, the Verse Tamer recounts her childhood memories. On those steps, she used to create incredible worlds, such as that of the ‘Shadowless City’.
The stairway opens up, turns and, following Lua’s footsteps, is transformed into a small lamp who boldly faces her fears and discovers the beauty hidden within the darkness. This narrative poem is a sensitive artistic installation as well as a sophisticated theatrical work.
In the Shadowless City¸ everyone is afraid of the dark, which is why everyone leaves their lights switched on. But, one day, Lua the curious lamp decides to find out what will happen if she switches off her light. As a result of this, she meets Sombra (Shadow), an elusive being who ends up showing her the beauty hidden within her world.
With this story, Lua is a journey from light into darkness in which the wooden stairway of a block of flats in the centre of a city is transformed into a living being through a childhood memory, giving rise to situations of tremendous beauty that unfold with every step taken by Lua and Sombra. Cynthia Miranda, who will direct and act in the show, has co-written the script, along with Daniel García.
The two daily performances for schoolchildren will be at 10 a.m. and 11.30 a.m., and the children who will be attending the shows are from the Pre- and Primary Schools CEIP Camino La Villa and Acaymo (La Laguna), El Monte (San Miguel), Ravelo (El Sauzal), Nuestra Señora de la Concepción (La Orotava), Fañabé (Adeje), Alfonso Spínola (Santa Cruz).
