“Madrid, 1933. Tristán Valdivia, journalist without a newspaper, editor without success and lover without illusion, leaves the capital to return to the north. There awaits his father, the Marquis of Montecorvo. These are difficult times for the country, immersed in the convulsions of the Second Republic, and the old aristocrat must keep his head above water as the head of his private fiefdom: the Northwest Mining Company. From the darkness of the mining valleys of Asturias emerge luminous characters, and under the deafening roar of the coal mines, one can hear the whisper of an ancient song. The old and new times clash brutally, testing the protagonist, soon to be the entire humanity. This is the sound of The Ballad of the North”. (Astiberri)

The Saltantes Teatro company brings to the stage the monumental work of Alfonso Zapico in a production that boasts a team of technical and artistic luxury. Theatrical adaptation by Luis Alija of the homonymous graphic novel by Alfonso Zapico.
