Malditos

A group of actors in Madrid are cast in a theatre show conceived as a dance marathon and as an unscripted competition. Every night, they fight a surreal game on stage: in more than eighty performances during three years, the group had to come to terms with nerve-wracking and absurd situations, physical battles, chasing fleeting illusions. The film directors asked them to record themselves off stage to investigate how their lives were affected by this performance. ‘Malditos’ follows their drifting between success, failure, fame, and self-realization, interweaving non-fiction interventions and staged representations, constantly blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality.
