SUMMARY
Ultranoite no País dos Ananos (a nihilistic cabaret or a musical about defeat)
O País dos Ananos (The land of the dwarves) is an ironic trip we make through the ultranight to the time and the place which we had to live in. we can call it Galicia if we want to. A place defined by the waste of the present, the cinism of the governing classes and the end of the hope for a better future. To portray this land, humiliated by the concrete, we make use of the company of two authors related because of their ill humour and a lyrism as sharp as insulting: Jonathan Swift and Celso Emilio Ferreiro. Before them we are mere apprentices. But we are honest, we do not like the way things were done at all, we are convinced that they could have been done better in any other way just with a little generosity and honesty and, the way things are, we have no hope at all that this will have a solution. Just a satirical smell could make such a stinking democracy breathable.
This Ultranoite no País dos Ananoshas a stomach and a heart. With the stomach in our hands we made some sketches full of topics, common tales and places to let out a few understanding laughs. With and open heart we offer a handful of music and songs with no space for hope, but of a lyrism, beauty and power ununderstandingly bewildering.

The ultranights:
In January 1993 the Ultranights started in the Nasa, at the same time that the Xunta of Galicia invented an alter ego to incorporate to the future, the Xacobeo, sailing on a sea of subventions which came from the European Union. The xacobean Galicia and the Ultranight grew parallely without ever crossing their ways. For one of them there arrived uncontrolled money to pay for highways, high speed trains, industrial centres, walking areas by the sea, exterior ports, auditorium, lunches, foundations and even a City of Culture which remains in ruins as a symbol of a country of dwarves which wanted to be a giant. Meanwhile, the Ultranight dived into underground ways to offer a critical reflexion, clumsy and silly, of that reality, so apparent but so empty.
Now, 20 years later, we make a little stop on our way to the Ultranight to take a look back as naivly as bitter and musically certify our defeat on stage. Galicia continues unstoppable on its loss of identity. And the Ultranight overfills with personality.
