Lola told the true story of the infamous 19th century Spanish dancer who stormed her way through life on a tumultuous journey of seduction, sorrow and success. An actress and courtesan, a revolutionary and adventuress; she was a breaker of hearts and the toppler of a kingdom.
Fusing theatre, dance and live music from renowned flamenco guitarist Ricardo Garcia, this was a “racy, pacey and inventive chamber-sized physical theatre production based on this extraordinary woman's life." The Times
"This is a real-life picaresque romp through the courts and theatres of nineteenth-century Europe". Time Out
"Inventive and imaginative." Liverpool Daily Post
"Trestle's choice of lead - Georgina Roberts - was nothing short of genius. Roberts brought laughs thick and fast and the characters deep vulnerability always brimmed close to the surface." Irish Post
Lola was a collaboration with Barcelona based dance company Increpación Danza.
