La cresta de la ola

José Troncoso

A criticism of the constant dissatisfaction with the world in which we live


Increasingly self-conscious about the unattainable dream of becoming "someone" and fed up with a life of servility, Victoria passionately craves the lives of others and, more specifically, Stella’s. The maid will find a way to exchange lives in a kind of contemporary "Cinderella" full of black humour that, at the end of the spell, reveals that we are nobody.

La Estampida's gaze points to the social context that surrounds us. While in our previous productions we were concerned with issues such as eviction, nostalgia, lack of talent or abuse, in this case the creative driver is based on prevailing success and frivolity.

Why can we never be happy with who we are? Why do we live wanting to be someone else? How have we distorted ourselves before the gaze of others?

In La cresta de la ola we will give our characters, wounded by folkloric Spanish existentialism, the magical opportunity to fulfil their dreams of greatness. We will put them on the crest of the wave just at the moment in which that wave is about to break and we will enjoy the Spanish pleasure of watching the exalted fall.
