This journey is a game of questions for my grandparents, my desire to keep them with me, my personal pirouette to evade absence, my tribute to four important people in my life, my desire to preserve their memory, to bottle it up. I don’t want to close the lids of the jars; I want to open them and look together inside this journey that begins like that of my grandparents, on a salt mountain, and whose end I do not know.

The El Patio company from La Rioja was founded in 2010 by Izaskun Fernández and Julián Sáenz-López, who saw the public's need for stories born out of the emotion arising from everyday things, everything surrounding us, little stories that are important to us and give them an excuse to seek a special language that helps them tell this on stage. This search led them to conceal themselves in objects and their life, in small format stories, in clay and using their own hands…
Their first show is a tiny miracle, an exquisite hand made work, "a theatrical diamond that pays tribute to the crafts of the past that are suffering", according to the theatre critic Jonás Sáinz.
