Too Bright follows Guillem during the night he becomes aware of the phobias and prejudices that have always accompanied him. An awakening in the form of an allergic reaction that takes him by the hand and guides him deep into the Sarao Drag — forcing him to become part of a collective to which he belongs, yet despises. Forcing him to be part of the celebration. A celebration that —as the title of the show suggests— is radically bright. Open, alive, and expansive.

Guillem will step into the Sala Petita of the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya accompanied by real and fictional characters —most of whom will be summoned each evening by the audience’s imagination— who will embrace him for a little over an hour of accelerated breathing. A suffocating descent that will be both tender and unpleasant.
A night that will be many nights at once.
