Clapso Producciones, «Timanfaya, el sueño de Manrique»

Art can help live to go on, it’s part of the deep harmony of all things created. Timanfaya, el sueño de Manrique is a co-production created for César Manrique’s 100th anniversary, produced by the late artist’s foundation and Producciones Escénicas Clapso.

Through this street theatre show, Clapso builds up an oneiric journey through the work of the universal artist, born in Lanzarote. The show’s format brings the work in movement closer to the audience, and conveys the values of defence, respect and admiration for nature that César fought for all his life, through his work. Timanfaya, el sueño de Manrique is a celebration of art and life, a game where music, dance and César’s own words bring the Company back to the streets, to the people, to their audience.
