LOVETRAIN2020 unfolds in a space full of references, counterpoints and infinite possibilities, where movement and sound interact, revealing once again from a different perspective, the obvious yet almost transparent layers where people meet, part, push and pull each other, question, solve and move forward.

The contemporary 'musical' LOVETRAIN2020 will be based on the amazing songs of the 1980s British duo Tears for Fears ('Mad World', 'Shout', 'Everybody Wants to Rule the World', 'Change', 'Sowing the Seeds of Love', and a host of other incredible hits). It is a choreographed ode to the sounds and atmosphere of the 1980s, embodied in the music of Tears for Fears, with its utopian aspirations and epic rhythm.
