📖 Life at the Well

The action takes place in a remote oilfield in Patagonia. Four men share a cramped trailer, living together just yards from an almost dry well where they extract the last remnants of oil.

Up above, free time is thick with desert dust, dark local myths, and intense physical challenges. Down below, the rock fractures to squeeze out whatever little fuel remains.

🎭 Exploring Gender with Piel de Lava

In this fifth production of their career, Piel de Lava takes on the challenge of inhabiting male characters. The work uses collective creative processes to investigate gender construction and societal stereotypes.

✨ An exceptional theatrical experience from Piel de Lava on the Madrid stage.
