Royal Gazpacho

'Una merienda' (Madrid, August 2014) is a production by Caín Teatro and El Hijo Tonto in which tomato soup is made. 'Royal Gazpacho' incorporates Shakespeare’s 'King Lear' as an underlying influence on the cooking process, turning it into a slow, deliberate orchestration of a tragedy. Hanging pouches of red. A dancing mass of tempestuous liquid.

Additional information: Caín Teatro - El Hijo Tonto Caín sprouted in the 1990s from the interstices between architecture and theatre, in the bowels of the Architecture School of Madrid. It recently gave birth to El Hijo Tonto, which renders improvisation-based works with a heavy visual conception.
