A universal question: Are we destined to resemble our parents?
The work starts from a premise that is as simple as it is profound: Who are we when we try not to be like our parents?
Starting from this question, Madaula constructs a text that explores the link between generations, the mistakes that are repeated, the wounds that are inherited, and the difficulty of communicating even with the people we love most.
The official synopsis describes the work as “the pending conversation between a father and a daughter”where both believe they know more than the other, both believe the other is wrong, and both love each other as much as they hurt each other.
An emotional battle full of humor, tenderness, and truth.
“LOOP” is not a dark drama, but a portrait full of humanity. The author defines it as “the struggle to value oneself”quoting the lyrics of Pau Riba.

- The difficulty of accepting that we are more alike than we want to be
