Synopsis
Jorge Explosion, leader of the Asturian garage group Doctor Explosion, wants to film a documentary about his figure and his extensive career. To do this, he calls two of his closest collaborators, Pepe and Romo. By not having the same point of view, conflicts will soon arise between them, leading the documentary attempt to a funny disaster.
A documentary about an artist who is also trying to produce a documentary about his own artistic career, with the intention of relaunching himself. A documentary within a documentary. A metadocumentary, or a strange artifact? Surely the second.
Note of intentions
The bet of the documentary cannot be other than the mixture of formats. It is the best way we have to represent the different levels of realities that we want to reflect in AT TWO WILL BE THE THREE. But in addition, this lack of inhibition when telling the story is inherent and inseparable from the universe of Jorge and Doctor Explosion.
The iconoclastic character of Jorge and his crazy world can only have one form, when it comes to putting it on stage. And that form is that of different textures mixed in a frenetic manner, composing a collage that may seem, at first glance, a simple gimmicky madness. But nothing could be further from the truth. That is Jorge’s world, his head is full of colors, aesthetics, that collide with each other as if they were drifting planets, but no, everything has a reason. The order of disorder.
