We’re on time we still have time… I’ve cooked for you the location is ideal it will be an unforgettable night I’ve prepared a big cake a bath and background music tonight we’ll kiss and we’ll dance like never before stand by me dance until the end get a little tired of everything of one another love each other with cream I can’t imagine life without you I am nothing faceless smiles in sepia staring into the distance don’t ever change I’ll never forget you petal overdose photos at the City of Arts and Sciences Monfort Gardens sea in the background sentimental voyeurism.

Cartelera Turia

“Theatre for the intellect, for reflection. What is more, all told with a very large dose of good humour. Simply put: masterful.”

Primer Acto

“(…) Some delicious Exercises in Love which follow the line of naturalistic, oneiric dramaturgy full of love and tenderness.”

Levante EMV

“Theatrical and authentic. Skill combined with transparency. What is behind every relationship? Happiness and tension. Poetry.”

Synopsis

Exercises in Love is a special way of celebrating the union between people, a simple and intimate celebration mid way between theatre and reality, where the spectator is the guest. A space and time set apart from everyday reality in order to reflect on relationships between human beings and where we can feel illusion in both senses of the word: the illusion as a lie and also as a desire.
