This play has its origins in a gigantic canvas of 9 by 15 meters painted by Salvador Dalí in 1940 for a ballet inspired in the legend of Tristán and Isolda that was premiered in 1944 in New York City. Because of a series of circumstances, the canvas got to the hands of Daniele Finzi Pasca, director of the Compagnia Finzi Pasca which was founded in 2011 after the fusion of the theater companies Sunil and Inelevitas. In La Veritá, theater, dance and circus acts mix together to create a piece that has all the elements of a decadent vaudeville that’s portrayed in the stunning and heart breaking canvas of Salvador Dalí.
