Contemporary musical tragicomedy. Songs of love and violence

CRA’P public presentations 2026

29 April from 19h to 19:45h
Santa Mònica Arts Center, Barcelona

A contemporary musical tragicomedy born from personal experience, using samba as its guiding thread: a music that unites sorrow, joy, and resistance. From the outset, the artists place their bodies at the center, transforming personal memories into dances and musical compositions. Tiny DERROCHE is a short debut piece where songs of love and violence unfold on stage.

In residence at: CRA’P
With the collaboration of: La Colmena de Àfrica

Activity open to all and free of charge
