Whose land is this? From no one.
For hundreds of years that was the sentence that the kingdoms of Europe made of the Canary Islands. An orchard where some aborigines lived whose origin was unknown at that time.
A place that is easy to access, to invade as well, strategic on the world map.
In the end it was the Kingdom of Castile that took over the islands. And in 1478 when one of its main cities was founded. Today known as Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
That was the first visit, of many, that the city has had. Some peaceful, others out of necessity, many out of interest. There have been attempts to invade it actively and passively, attempts have been made to change its idiosyncrasy.
Now, in its main square, four curious invaders converge, their cardinal points: North, South, East and West. They, whose only function has been to point out their virtues and slights, will now narrate with dreamy passages what each of those visits has been.
From stubborn tourists, to Englishmen with devious strategies, feared privateers to even French or Portuguese merchants who had more than one hidden interest.
A show made for the street, for the city, full of music (live), singing, dancing, acrobatics and humor, that precise satire that a story like this needs. Everything to tell a journey through time, but done backwards, because what happens now, happened before, and what happened before will happen again later.
The incredible story of the city in reverse is the same old story, told as on a map, with its cardinal points, its sorrows and its goodness. With his love, love for theater and music.
