What's it about

Narrated through two young artists, «Fronteras» tells the story of Sebastián, a young and idealistic Western news photographer who, after capturing the first and exceptional image of Bin Laden, is catapulted to fame and journalistic stardom following the September 11th attacks. In parallel, it also tells the story of an anonymous Syrian teenage graffiti artist who is forced to flee her country after fighting to the bitter end and with enormous integrity for a change of regime and a better future for her country. Told through the monologues of both characters that intertwine again and again until they meet in a heartbreaking climax, «Fronteras» addresses idealism, personal and professional ethics, the interaction between West and East, the conflict in Syria and the migration crisis with an exceptional combination of realism, boldness, poetry, humor and a sense of spectacle. Following «1936», stage director Andrés Lima returns with this fast, direct theatrical work, an enormous and epic story, pure and captivating, with only two characters, that will leave the audience member glued to their seat with a broken heart.
