Synopsis

“house of winds” is a house and it is a journey. It is a house on a journey. How big a house is? Can a person be a house? Does a house need walls? Can a house be a place, a language, a country…?
This play tells of a journey of two characters looking to maintain their way of being, their space of affections and emotions in a changing world.
In a big city, two characters, Alba and Maria try to cross it carrying a windmill on their back in search of a new hill that will assure a new place to live. But the city breathes, overwhelms and fascinates.
The house comes from the search of the integration of personal and collective memories from everyday life, looking for traditional legacies as the possibility to build an image of its own future, full of memories and reinvented traditions.
