Los Años Maravillosos: Archive, Image and Collapse

Edinburgh 2026

A Uruguayan model. Diana Spencer. The Doors. Montevideo. The future as longing. Collapse as an inevitable destiny. 'Come on, baby, light my fire.' Between image, memory and fracture, Los Años Maravillosos explores the distance between who we imagined we would become and who we were not. Through real archive, music and living presence, the performance moves between illusion and the wound of the real, confronting what remains when narratives we believed in fall apart. A theatrical experience about who we were, the future we imagined and the moment everything begins to collapse.
