HOME

Giulia Roversi. August 2025.

Home is an immersive hybrid performance between live theater and digital space, which investigates proximity and intimacy through the use of live streaming, multi-cameras and 360° recordings. Set in a domestic living room, the work follows the daily life of two people, exploring their interactions and relationships. Thanks to body cameras and strategic devices, the viewer can choose his point of view and navigate the rooms, creating a personalized sensory experience.

DEFORMATION AND MOTHERHOOD

Sabrina Gargano. August 2024.

How can we reconnect with our maternal figure and turn the fear of deformation through motherhood into a transformative force for female empowerment? The mother is the first mirror that we have to understand ourselves, what happens when in this reflection we have some missing parts?

LA VELOCIDAD DE LA CARNE

Lucía Marote. Enero de 2023.

La velocidad de la carne is a research project aimed at the creation of a dance solo that explores the concepts of time and space through the body, through flesh.

It is a reflection on the nature of time and its elasticity, establishing a relationship between the present, the past, and the future, between memory and presence. This project also takes shape as a dialogue between the ephemeral condition of movement and the desire for permanence.

It is about inhabiting space through the use of image (video) as an extension of the body and movement. A body that contemplates its own memory, generates future possibilities, and questions its essence, inhabiting the space of inquiry.

TERRARIO

Mercedes Pedroche. August 2022.

Five strangers, stateless, are in an unknown space, with no entrance or exit door. They don’t know how long they’ve been there, where they come from or where they’re going. And, above all, they lack rules or guidelines to judge others. They are forced to live with their disorientation and bewilderment. Their only reference is a wall that rises to the bottom of the space, after which they believe they intuit the existence of someone or something that has abandoned them.

STAND BY

Thi Mai Nguyen. August 2021.

A couple returns bodily through life from the embryo it was, to the dust it has become. From this warm and comforting matrix, its members free themselves and try to get up. To stand up. They face gravity, physical distance, visions and sound deformations due to this physical retrospective. Hand in hand, they seek to get up. Because we are nothing without the other.

TRANS-FORM

Fabian Thomé. August 2021.

The body, mind and space change over the time of the piece and are interconnected in its process. They are transforming instruments and, at the same time, transformed. They constitute the vehicle by which the experience of life reaches us and through which we manifest its imprint. A body, a mind and a space, with characteristics and potentials, are at our creative service.

CALLE SOMBRA

David Espinosa. April 2020.

Through movement and choreographic actions, we will use both people and objects to produce shadows. We will continue the game with the different elements of stage creation, building a unique graphic narrative that combines aspects of theatre, dance, comics and plastic arts.

We will especially explore the language of comics and sequential art, with the intention of transferring it to the live stage, taking advantage of the numerous aesthetic parallels it shares with the projection of shadows: black on white, a dark reflection of current life and culture.

Calle Sombra will not be a show of shadows, but the shadow of a show.

N.A.N

Anna Fontanet. Noviembre de 2019.

N.A.N. is a research process focussed on the creation of “emotional identities”. Its objective is to develop characters from non-rational emotional information, exploring emotions that transcend the purely logical. This process is based on the experimentation and assimilation of behaviours of other individuals, landscapes and/or objects. Through this dynamic, identities are built that reflect a diversity of emotional experiences and perceptions. The core of NAN interest is the study of listening, whether circumstantial or deliberate. It focusses on the transformation of the individual throughout his life trajectory, starting from impulses and sound impacts that are interpreted as emotions. Thus, listening becomes a catalyst for personal change and evolution.

DEMÉTER

Ariadna Girones. September 2025

This project is inspired by the powerful stories of Elna’s Maternity, the Militia and the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, to reveal motherhood as a space of resilience and strength in the face of struggles and losses. Elna Hospital symbolises an act of care and creation in times of war, where women protected life in extreme conditions, embodying the power that defines each fertility cycle. The Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, through their incessant marches, represent a united circle of mothers who fight for justice and to find their missing children. The Militia women evoke the courage and determination of women who, in times of war, took up arms to defend their ideals and fight for a freer and more just world.

SARAGOSSA

Andrés García. September 2025.

Saragossa speaks of a fictional Zaragoza, a city that exists somewhere between the real one and, perhaps, a version that survives only in nostalgia. This place exists during those brief periods when we return to our hometown, in those moments when we meet someone who also comes from there, or simply when we tell someone about where we are from. It is a shared commemoration of this imaginary city, made of memories, sounds, and testimonies, and above all, embodied through the body.

CHÍN-CHÍN

Cristina Tomás. August 2025.

Chin-Chin is a scenic and sound proposal for two bodies: a singer and a DJ, which arises after discovering the new mixtape of the artist La Neni and the DJ set of Sara, under the artistic direction of Cristina. The piece is located at the crossroads between the expanded concert, the sound installation and the performance, channelling the energy of the club to create an intimate, engaging and politically charged experience. The proposal is built from the scenic-sound dialogue between the DJ / Producer Sara and the Singer / Performer Nora, using original musical compositions as the main dramaturgical axis.
