1. Sunday and Monday

   'Peter & Pan', at the Cervantes

Peter has forgotten his past. And when you forget your past, you forget your childhood. Behind that window of a room in a nursing home, you can see how the stars have stopped twinkling. But windows, when you forget about them, open and let in mischievous shadows. And one of those shadows sneaks into Peter's memories. And behind it appears that eternal child who takes our elderly gentleman to Neverland... That is the starting point of 'Peter & Pan', which will be performed this Sunday at 6 pm and Monday at 12 noon at the Cervantes Theater. The price of the tickets is 12 euros.
