Honest conversations, family secrets and the struggle for truth: a comedy about relationships comes to Madrid.
About this event
An ordinary visit to friends can end very differently from what was expected. The play «Theory and practice on the mechanical principles of sex» begins precisely with this situation and has for years been one of the best-known adult comedies on Madrid’s theatre scene.
The plot revolves around two couples of old friends who meet again after a long separation. One night becomes a succession of unexpected confessions, old grudges and difficult conversations, forcing the protagonists to reconsider love, trust and fidelity. While some try to clear up their differences in the garage, others continue the conversation in the living room, and both stories gradually intertwine until they reveal the same conflict.
The play combines witty dialogue, irony and unexpected plot twists, inviting us to observe everyday relationships without idealising them. Beneath the apparent lightness lies a reflection on how theory often differs from practice, especially when it comes to feelings.
