Distancia Siete Minutos

At the same time as the launch and landing of the space robot Curiosity, Félix, a young judge, is forced to leave his home, which is affected by a plague of termites, to go and stay at his old family home for a few days. The environment of the courts, where the judge works, and the way he gets on with his father bring out fundamental themes such as justice, happiness and destiny.

  • Excited as I was about going to see Titzina’s latest show, there was a fear of disappointment, as it is hard to maintain standards when you have achieved such high... quality with your three previous plays. That fear soon evaporated, though, after the curtain went up because this play maintains their brilliant style from beginning to end.

    #El Diario Vasco / November 2013

  • How do we find happiness? What circumstances can end up imposing unhappiness instead? How do we reach the conclusion that we’re not needed? These are some of the questions that... assail us while we follow the dazzling journey Titzina Teatro have mapped out with their latest creation. Distancia Siete Minutos is an emotional journey, full of sensations. Beginning as a comedy, it ends up giving us a dramatic punch in the stomach. It plays with three apparently unconnected elements that have a deep dramatic interrelationship. The space mission Curiosity launched by NASA in 2011 to put an exploration robot on Mars; a plague of termites; and Félix, a young judge forced to leave his home because of the insects and go to stay with his father.

    #Heraldo de Aragón / January 2016

  • A play strongly recommended for lovers of stage writing, as the thread of the story fully absorbs you from beginning to end. Full of laughter and tears for an hour... and a half (which passes really quickly), the show also makes the audience think after the curtain has come down – something not often found nowadays

    #Diario de Cádiz / October 2016

  • Playing with objects to explain changes in the action and the pressure of current events provides a wonderful lesson in imagination and flexibility on stage. Highly recommended.

    #La Vanguardia / December 2024

  • It turns out that this creative play shows, in itself, that simple works and that “simple doesn’t mean easy”. There is no doubting the hard work there is behind each... Titzina play
