El Conde de Torrefiel was one of the revelations at the Kunstenfestivaldesarts in 2015. This year the young Spaniards are coming to Brussels once again, with the world premiere of GUERRILLA. This new piece questions the future of a generation of young Europeans. We follow a group of young people taking part in seemingly banal activities: a tai chi lesson, a conference, a night out. They seem relaxed and confident. The proceedings on stage are harmonious, innocent... and artificial. The colourful diversity of the group silences the actors’ personal world of ideas, whilst behind the scenes we can read their thoughts. In this seemingly safe and peaceful situation, GUERRILLA incessantly torpedoes repressed impulses, obscene fantasies, and violent notions towards the audience. A black comedy about oppression and the awakening of awareness.
