Andre & Dorine

André & Dorine is a piece of contemporary Mask Theatre about a couple who needs to remember who they were, so they don’t forget who they are. In a small room where memories hang over the walls, sound the keys of a typewriter and the notes of a cello. They are André and Dorine, an elderly couple gently decaying from routine and neglect, with a passion once so huge for each other now fading into indifference. But an event comes to break the monotony: Alzheimer’s, our greatest antagonist, devourer of memories and of identity itself.

Kulunka Teatro’s contemporary and committed mask theatre transcends language barriers with no text or words. It explores uplifting and thought provoking themes with movement, masks and music. It has toured extensively in Spain, South America, China and Europe, and will continue its tour in United States and Asia. It was an award winner at the Birmingham European Theatre Festival in 2011, and at the La Habana International Theatre Festival 2011 (Cuba).
