Reconnecting with love

Andre and Dorine is about an elderly couple whose former passion for each other has faded into indifference. The monotony is broken by Alzheimer's. They have to try to remember who they were so as to regain their love, identity and life itself. As a silent show based on true stories, the play breaks cultural barriers with the universal power of body language and music. It proved a pleasant success when it was performed in China last year, moving many audiences to tears and creating social discussions on family, companionship, life and death. Presented by Spain's Kulunka Teatro, Andre and Dorine has toured extensively in Spain, South America, the United States, China and Europe. It was an award winner at the Birmingham European Theatre Festival in 2011 and at the La Habana International Theatre Festival 2011 in Cuba.
