A Xata Minera that comes from the future but with delay, travels through the basins in its time ship (the train). Ablaña turned into a western scenario of post-industrial decadence; Carbayín, the Broadway of the mining struggle danced in the neighborhood with an eighties cultural barricade, and a futuristic banquet of Fabada for children in Tuilla before the Villano Bross who, repentant, builds a re-converted present, returning the embezzlement with a briefcase of millions of ballots.
Longing for times that were never good, mythological characters-guerrillas, destitute miners, children of the individual homeland and the pseudo-protagonist: Villa.
Scenic-filmic-musical piece about mining and the daily life of the Nalón and Caudal basins. A collective bet of realism and forceful fiction, traveling in a hybrid of performance, documentation and popular participation.
“We want to turn it upside down, question the official stories and imagine possible reconversions, triggers and futuristic fables.”
The band of self-deception is already here to open our tongues with fame, to look at the banishment as if it came from the far west, and the future, will be a children’s banquet under a landscape of castles, reconverting corruption into fantasy; in between, the artists enter the well singing, and abandoned …we come out dancing.
The musical is a multitudinous work, an artistic guerrilla !
Our villages have a lot to tell
