Imposing screens, four flickering stories, and a stage drenched in sound and colour. Catalan masters of anarchy, El Conde de Torrefiel, take the imagination to new heights by making us watch our own thoughts.  

A giant screen invades the stage with colour and booming sound. Dream-like fragments of four different stories roll out of each other like a matryoshka doll; a couple who meet at a concert in Manchester, secret lovers in Athens, a transgender woman in Paris, a premiere at the Fenice Opera in Venice. La luz de un lago unfolds like a wild and colourful hallucination – slow, disorientating, hauntingly beautiful, with no clear way out.  

Catalan collective El Conde de Torrefiel, led by Tanya Beyeler and Pablo Gisbert, return to Noorderzon with their signature defiance of theatrical convention, this time with a radical redefinition of our shared imaginations. A provocatively lucid and barren dream which resists any attempt at order.
