Summary: 
Two men hugging. Two men who dance until it's all over and it all begins again.

As people of their times, those born in the digital age witness an unstable and convulsive scenario that confronts them (and us) with a process of dehumanization and isolation, for which the most successful solution seems to be an individual shielding, the creation of a differentiated identity or a personal brand. We are more than ever a product for sale and youth is the most coveted value. Contemporaneity destroys fragile bodies, dismembers the most vulnerable groups and discards the misfits who debate (we debate) between rebellion or docility.  
The unfolding of a passionate dance that finds its purest meaning in repetition and catharsis: Dance to exhaustion, bark to catharsis, live until fainting. The story of the man who introspects through the other to find himself. 
The latest stage creation by the Led Silhouette company displays a proposal that travels from the trance of repetition to fascination through successive images. Images stolen from yesterday and thrown into tomorrow, from right now and daubed with the past, from contemporary arts to atavistic, earthly forms, in a constant crossing of times and languages.
In Los perros, Martxel Rodriguez and Jon López represent a dialogue between three generations accompanied by the projection of texts by the writer and playwright Carmina S. Belda, the voice-over of the actor Oier Zuñiga and the music of Cristóbal Saavedra.
