Sol Picó reflects on the stereotypes of passion and disappointment in love. E.N.D.(Esto no danza) is a mixture of tenderness and fierceness that shows the pernicious effects of love taken as an antidote against death; and the pernicious effects of death taken as an antidote to love. Protagonists: a virtual and voluptuous tenor, a virtuous and maternal soprano, a prince who comes out frog and a princess who wakes up to discover that the story is over. The viewer contemplates a tragicomic ballad, a satirical poem, a romantic novel, a suspense movie, a passionate opera, a naive comedian, a sentimental soap opera, a dance show, finally, for a non-specialized audience, an audience of people common with common stories, everyday stories of love and heartbreak, exciting stories for an exciting show: E.N.D.
