Dolores

The true story of Sylvin Rubinstein. An extraordinary and exemplary destiny. A jewel of a show, set in flamenco, with exceptional acting and chiselled direction by Virginie LEMOINE.

The turmoil of history sometimes transforms ordinary people into heroes. Sylvin Rubinstein, whose only ambition in life was to dance flamenco with his twin sister Maria, joins the resistance against the Nazis. After several months in the Warsaw ghetto, he allies himself with Kurt Werner, a Wehrmacht officer and resistance fighter, and carries out increasingly dangerous actions. Haunted by the disappearance of his sister at the hands of the Nazis, he takes on her appearance, and it is in the dress of Dolores, Maria's stage name, that he carries out an act of unprecedented violence. In the evening of his life, Sylvin Rubinstein draws a veil over his fate, lest the memory of Maria die with him.
