A celebration of Spain’s vibrant cultural and political history, brought to life with a queer twist. Practically unknown abroad, Copla is the dramatic, heartfelt music that shaped Spain’s early musicals – perfect for anyone who loves laughing, crying and singing along to a diva’s melodramatic refrain. Once censored under Franco’s regime, Copla’s raw emotion and soaring melodies are reimagined for a new, intercultural generation. Join a journey through the upheavals of a queer migrant experience: living far from home, translating childhood musical memories and celebrating foreignness through song. ‘Beautiful, funny, heartwarming’ ***** (AdventuresInTheatreland.com).
