Lover

Who has not wished, with all their strength, to stop loving? To give up desire. What happens in our head in the meantime? And in our heart?

Yes. It is true. We manage it. But are we the same?

Lover is us and a little of you. It is no coincidence: sometimes life is like that, and sometimes it hides around corners.

Lover is an object theatre production. Everything else is explained on a stage.

Laughter, and the honest belly laugh, the brief rush of feeling that raises goose pimples. The complete darkness beyond that small space heightens the sense of being in another world.

— Isabel Valdés, Diario el País

To enjoy Lover fully you have to become a little like children, to recover as far as you can that clear gaze, that sensitivity worn on the skin, that absolute and unreserved readiness to surrender to the enchantment of the images, the music and the light that transfigures the objects.

— Gordon Craig, Whispers
