EL LENGUAJE DE LAS FLORES
Love through a screen, ghosting, chance meetings and missed connections, cowardice, hopes and expectations.
Taking inspiration from the theme of expectations in Lorca’s *Doña Rosita the Spinster or The Language of Flowers*, this production explores romantic relationships in the 21st century and how the way we flirt has changed in recent years. Through different situations, it offers a humorous reflection on the modern quest for love.
El lenguaje de las flores is a comedy in eight flowers or dramatic scenes, with live music composed and performed by Ibon Belandia. The show revives traditional folk songs and reimagines them through electronic music. All the songs share a common thread: the use of flowers as a courtship strategy (compliments).
This project marks the debut of La Mapatxa Teatroa, a new Basque theatre company.
