Zarzuela > Carretera de Avilés: "The Return"

This work represents the third and final installment of an exciting journey through the history of Avilés, through the life of Mauricio, a young man who experienced the social, architectural, and economic transformations of the town. The plot explores the round trip between Avilés and La Habana, rescuing songs and melodies that have endured for more than a century.

The story reflects the nostalgia and hope of a generation that crossed the ocean seeking fortune and contributed to building a modern city. The staging combines music, dance, and theater to narrate how cities, just like songs, belong to those who keep them alive.
