Based on the novel of the same name by French writer Régis Jauffret, Love Story addresses the hardly distinguishable boundary between reason and madness, love and domination; the responsible action and the submission to the most debasing drives of the humankind that manage to corrupt love in its deepest sense.

An English teacher abducts the young Sofia and turns her into his victim, concubine and mother. In order to achieve this, he takes over her life and her private, public, genital and mental spaces to the point of leaving her with no choice but turn to autism and acceptance. Thus, this man’s sick and twisted love becomes the only possible realm for humaneness within a society in which the thin red line between justice and psychiatry turns fuzzy; a world where guilt and responsibility give way to impunity and complicit silence.

The TeatroCinema’s aesthetic challenge is that of creating a fusion between the virtual and the bodily, with no disruption, so as to bring about an organic and balanced whole: a universe happening in the form a black and white comic as a bipolar world that permits to focus on the scenes with psychological, sexual and physical violence in a more bearable way and, at the same, insinuate those scenes that are unworkable in theatre.
