About the event

In Octopus Garden (Jardin de Pulpos), the anxiety to recover his memory leads José and Antonia on a journey through various settings, exploring memories, dreams and exile as a metaphor for loss and absence. The booking page says the search for what we have forgotten offers a glimpse of Latin America, from its past to our present, amid nostalgic smiles.

It is performed in English and Spanish at the Kenya National Theatre during KITFest 2026. TheatreKE lists its origin as Venezuela.
