Dolorosa de los Llanos

In front of us the Latin American plain unfolds. On the horizon we see a path, on either side of which virgins appear at night, and at the crossroads we come across the demons and the lloronas of Latin American mythology. We see three figures in procession, crossing the plain, dragging their sins, their punishments, their promises and their gratitude behind them. They walk. Where are they heading? What is the destination of their devotion? Its creators approach this work as a pilgrimage in search of their origins, their relationship with folklore and the traces of their Latin American identity, still present in their migrant, Euro-resident and contemporary bodies.

LaCerda is a dance company that was formed in 2015 in the city of Barcelona, with the intention of investigating through performance the concept of ritual and mystery, creating disturbing unknown worlds. The work of LaCerda has been presented in various theatres and festivals in Europe.

The Sala Hiroshima offers a discussion after the function, Meet the artist with the Companyia LaCerda, on 14 March.
