Lexikon is a book of fairytales. Seven tales for the future, aimed at humans who speak and listen. Seven attempts at breaking through the enigma of words – just as much those that bring us together as those which drive us apart. In this new piece, El Conde de Torrefiel continue to explore the limits of language and review the pitfalls of contemporary communication. They do this via their search for a theatre of anticipation which does away with all conventional notions of staging.
