Twenty years ago at a European drama festival there was a dramatized reading of My Young Idiot Heart, a play by the German author Anja Hilling about the loneliness of the inhabitants of a building. The work was adapted and directed by Francisca Bernardi, whose staging marked a generation of viewers, with its plot, and innovative scenery and music.   

The entire cast of emerging artists who participated at that time, today all consecrated, gathers to commemorate that milestone through an unmissable concert of My Young Idiot Heart, with music composed and performed by Ángela Acuña and scenery created live, just like 20 years ago, from the drawings of the visual artist Joaquín Cociña.
