Quico Cadaval has spent thirty years exploring the diverse paths of memory and imagination. He tends to get lost and then find himself again, always with the help of the audience. His shows belong to a fluid theatrical world that has been defined in various ways. Theater of the word, staged oral storytelling, or live literature have been some of the ways it has been described. It is a hybrid performance, a blend of hearth stories, literary cabaret, and epic theater.

Listening to stories shouted out is one of the cheapest ways to travel. The imagination of the listener in the dim light rises like a soap bubble, sometimes trailing, tongue lolling out, the storyteller's imagination. Other times, the audience's soap bubbles merge and form a collective imagination. The power of the audience, in those cases, becomes potent and propels the storyteller's timid imagination forward, disregarding the dangers of unexpected turns, overflowing the boundaries of reality.

Telling and listening to stories is a path to the unexpected. Stories are made of small pieces, memories, recollections, snapshots, and invented experiences. It could be the words of a book that
It flows like blood, from the memory of a childhood terror or a scene from a western. The audience knows that every time a story is told, a miracle, a wonder, can occur. And it's true.
