Synopsis
A series of characters coincide in a space that seems to be reality, let’s say in a theatre, let’s say in the Princesa room of the María Guerrero theatre. There they find a small abyss containing all realities from all angles, the infinitely small and the infinite macrocosm. Although one of the characters only manages to see the tiles of his grandmother’s bathroom in the Coma neighbourhood of Madrid.
What’s behind the wall of the María Guerrero theatre?
Author’s note
“Without a doubt, this scene could not exist, but it was there.”
The golden reflections by Mario Levrero.
In the quantum world, it is said that reality does not exist until it is observed. So what does it do, where is it when we are not watching it? Where does it go and how? When I was a child, I had the same intuition, which is why I would turn around quickly before leaving the room, to catch my dolls and objects changing places.
Imagination and fantasy are the filter that I have always put on reality in order to be able to move through it. As a friend of mine says: “As a child I lived in Fama, that saved me”.
Pequeño cúmulo de abismos is a tribute to that imagination that saved us. One more attempt to understand reality, or to get around it by approaching it with as many fantasies as we can, from all possible angles, in all neighbourhoods and at all times. It is the accumulation of imaginary micro-worlds that can fit in a crack in the wall of a theatre, an abyss of reality and fiction.

I was born in the working-class neighbourhood of Peña Grande in Madrid. Although I completed a degree in Acting at RESAD in 2002, I have directed my own stage works since I left. I also always act in them, and sometimes in films. As a performer, I have worked with Xavier Leroy, Cuqui Jerez, Los Bárbaros and Juan Domínguez, among others, and in film with Icíar Bollaín, Roser Aguilar and Belén Funes.

I have been living in Barcelona since 2012 and have been a teacher at the Institut del Teatre since 2019. My circuit for a long time has been dance, and I understand theatre from a choreographic point of view.
Some of my stage works include cUADRADO_fLECHA_pERSONA qUE cORRE (2004), The set Up (2008), ciencia_ficción (2010), El Agitador Vórtex (2014), Bad Translation (2016) and Pelucas en la Niebla (2018), as well as Lo mínimo y Lo pequeño (2019) together with Jorge Dutor and Guillem Mont de Palol. My most recent work is Grandísima Illusione (2022).
I have presented my work in festivals, museums and national and international theatres and I have been lucky enough to have works produced by La Villette de Paris, El Festival Grec, Le Phènix, El Mercat de les Flors and Condeduque, among others.
I love film, especially science fiction, and my stage work draws heavily from this genre, as well as the visual arts, music and low-brow culture. I am interested in the mechanisms of theatre itself and its conventions, humour, the mixture of genres and formats, and the relationship with the audience.
