L’AMOR VENIA AMB TAXI
This musical show by La Cubana is a well-deserved tribute to amateur theatre in Catalonia, highlighting the importance these companies have had within the country’s cultural fabric.
As an excuse, they have chosen a comedy of errors: Love Came by Taxi by Rafael Anglada, a play that has been performed by most amateur theatre groups in Catalonia.
As everyone knows, in La Cubana, nothing is ever what it seems. However, we promise a musical “made in Cubana” (in their own way) and “Catalan-style,” combining the musical genre with all the typical “ingredients” of the company: humor, surprises, audience participation, color, frantic rhythm, and, above all, lots of fun.
