Isadora in the closet

The protagonist of the work is a tailor who shares an apartment and workshop with an authoritarian brother who only allows him to carry out his favorite activity (dressing as a woman) when no one sees him. The only person he interacts with is the third-floor neighbor, an actor with little work who has just been left without a partner or source of income.

An unexpected situation will leave you alone. This fact will open a liberating door that you did not expect. And through this symbolic door will enter the woman she admires most and would always have wanted to be: the great dancer Isadora Duncan.

This will prompt his neighbor to put himself in the shoes of Duncan's great love, Sergei Iessenin. It will be a job or a game, but an intense and deeply human relationship will be established between both characters that will make us laugh, despite the dramatic background.

LA COMPAÑÍA LA INCÓGNITA was born from a shared fascination with the text by the English playwright Nick Payne Incognito, which was performed at the Sala Beckett in September 2018 as a dramatized reading and which finally premiered at the Teatre Lliure in March 2019 with great public and critical success.
