Cabosanroque's theatre (Laia Torrents and Roger Aixut) has shunned theatrical conventions, moving towards visual and sound proposals that are difficult to categorize. A performative theatre that develops music-visual artifacts, playing with tempos and metrics, with sound and silence in fully contemporary scores and stage spaces of strong plasticity. In their creative territory, there is a deliberate absence of literature, although they have created shows about Verdaguer, Rodoreda, and Brossa with scarce human presence. This changes in Mil tres, say cheese, a kind of stimulating contemporary opera based on the character of Don Juan and the music of Mozart.
The proposal is very much a staged concert that relies on the magnificent work of the six young singers and musicians, who exhibit admirable sensitivity and commitment under excellent musical direction. Cabosanroque mirrors itself in Don Giovanni to emphasize that donjuanism and the machismo that derives from it are not things of the past. And it makes this clear with a version of the much-celebrated Tití me preguntó by Bad Bunny, not at all distant from Mozart's aria Madamina, il catalogo è questo, and reinforces it with a chilling recreation of images of Plácido Domingo singing La ci darem la mano by Chopin with a fascinating Irina Soriano on piano, with young partners.
