Republica

In a fusion of anarchic theatre and dance, a punk guitarist, a stripper and a flamenco dancer reclaim the forgotten history of events leading up to the Spanish Civil War.

Republica is a lament for the unfulfilled promise of the Second Republic (1931-1936), and a celebration of its ideals. With the rise of division and disillusionment worldwide, this is a timely examination of the last time a government dared to initiate a state-sponsored Revolution.

Republica recognises that attempts to bring change often end in failure but celebrates the magnificent dreamers prepared to die trying.
