Chronicles about five dancers set on fire by the fire of gas lamps that were used in theaters in the mid-19th century. Will it be true? Dancers caught on gas fire? Work part of the 32nd edition of the Teatro a Mil International Festival.
Chronicles reconstructed from research and quotes from newspapers of the time are narrated and embodied by each of the performers.
In that thick sound and performative mass, languages, translations, times, artists, audiences, fiction, documentary materials, and a recurring image intersect: dancers set on fire on a stage in front of the public's eyes.
