The Experience
Theatre, humor
& quiet rebellion
— sung live
A tragicomedy from Valencia about people who keep dreaming even when reality gives them every reason not to.
Five performers, one shared stage, and songs that carry the story forward. Music and voice are not decoration here — they are how the truth gets told. One brutal question runs underneath it all: what do we do with the dreams we don’t deserve?
Written, composed & directed by Rafael Ponce

From Valencia to NYC
An independent
adventure
goes international
What began as an independent theatre project in Valencia grew into something nobody planned. Ten members of the artistic and technical team are crossing the Atlantic for the company’s first U.S. performances.
No institution sent them. No festival curated them. They come because the work earned its place — four awards, a loyal audience, and a story that travels.
