‘Filled with tenderness, nostalgia and love, it provoked deeply felt emotions. It was hard to keep back tears’ El Mundo
‘impressive and endearing...it’s easy to see how André & Dorine win audiences’
Total TheatreAndré and Dorine are an elderly couple, gently decaying from routine and neglect. But the monotony is about to be broken, by illness. Alzheimer’s is our greatest antagonist, devourer of memories, and of identity itself. André and Dorine need to remember who they were so as not to forget who they are.
Like Germany’s acclaimed Familie Floez, Kulunka Teatro has created a piece of thoroughly contemporary and committed mask theatre that transcends language barriers. Uplifting and thought provoking and based on a true story, it explores important themes with warmth and humour.
André and Dorine has toured extensively in Spain, and South America, and goes to New York and Los Angeles after these performances at the Mime Festival. It was an award winner at the Birmingham European Theatre Festival in 2011.
