A Dental Tragedy

The production tells a story whose roots lie in France during the Second World War. A story on a knife edge, balancing to the millimetre between tragedy and the "gritted humour" (as the author himself calls it) that is tender at the same time, between the memory of unspeakable horrors and a feeling of affection. All of it seen through the eyes of a boy who is too often a patient in the surgery of the dentist Spodek, where his small torments collide with the great suffering of the Spodek couple, who lost one daughter in a death camp and the other, still alive, to the absolute seclusion of a convent where she took refuge some years earlier, precisely in order to escape deportation. A powerful and moving production about the paradoxical, extreme situations that history throws us into.
