Masked Theatre, Non-verbal

André and Dorine is a poignant illustration of enduring love and a celebration of theatre’s ability to capture the most intimate of bonds.
A show without borders which has been performed in over 30 countries worldwide.
Through movement and masks, this deeply emotional and non-verbal work follows a pair of elderly artists as a disease forces them to relive and reinvent their love.
‘It’s hard to imagine a more tender and captivating work,’ raves LA Weekly.
‘One of those magical evenings in the theatre that shall live with me forever,’ says Stage and Cinema.
Kulunka Teatro has created a piece of thoroughly contemporary and committed mask theatre that transcends language barriers.
With no words, uplifting and thought provoking, it explores important themes with warmth and humour.
André and Dorine has toured extensively in Spain, South America, United States, China and Europe, visiting over 30 countries in 13 years.

In a quiet room filled with the sound of a typewriter, André and Dorine, an elderly couple once full of artistic energy, now live in silence, slowly drifting apart. When Dorine begins to suffer from Alzheimer’s, André must confront the erosion of memory and the distance between them.
With great tenderness, he begins to recover fragments of their past, rebuilding their shared history moment by moment. What follows is a touching journey of rediscovery, as the couple reconnects not through words, but through gestures, memories, and the quiet poetry of love enduring through time and illness.
A work of silence that speaks volumes, André and Dorine reminds us of the healing power of compassion, memory, and connection.
