SYNOPSIS:
Nature,
sustainable ecosystem. We are part of and are
nature.
A landscape, a specific physical state, precise feelings.
This lagoon is not in Alcúdia, nor in Valencia, nor in Menorca, but in our sensory imagination. It is our lagoon. A place of nature in which we walk, live, coexist. We are nature and we dance the coexistence. With a civilized aesthetic, a beautiful look is responsible for drawing and capturing this landscape. We are the lagoon itself, we are mud, foot that steps, animal, leaf, person, eyes.
We recognize and respect it.
We remember it, we imagine it, we invent it and we dance it.
We have created a landscape and we are zooming in it.

SOT
TEXT THEATRE
SYNOPSIS:
Two characters. A field. An audience waiting for something. Where is the master of ceremonies? It seems that he has not been able to come. In front of a huge hole dug in the ground, these two individuals will ask themselves questions such as death, destiny and the meaning of existence. Pushed by the need for a ritual or closure, they will try to move forward with humor and without too much transcendence, a situation they could never have imagined.

Performers: Eduard Paredes and Daniela Brown
Assistant director: Guillem Balart
Sung voice of the video: Nicole Brown

This ticket includes two activities as a pack. Yo soy una fiesta de La Resistència Teatre and Fem Matx! Apretiu Z
After the unexpected death of her grandmother, Àngela decides to go deep into her grief by turning the logic of this world upside down. What she doesn’t know is that this process will lead her to another conflict she had been denying. Now she has no grandmother, but she has no mother either. YSUF speaks about identity, about these two young women, but also about all of us. About our stories as granddaughters, as daughters, the place occupied by those women, the tradition and its clash with the current reality.
How do you celebrate all the years that grandma was there? What is her favorite song?
YSUF is a party because it wants to be. We dance, we question, we discover. We decide to dance – and also to cry – but above all we keep the questions alive.

Perla is a tribute to the working women who do not appear in history books. They now sit in the kitchen, take a photo album of the “best years of their lives” and are proud of themselves because they have been able to give a career to their daughters and granddaughters; although they say they don’t know about literature.
Our town used to go to the rhythm of a Factory, Las Perlas, and the breaks of the workers were marked by its siren. Our grandmothers, at the age of fourteen, entered Las Perlas. They worked to fix their homes and ended up building a network of mutual support, friendship and they were proud to belong to the working class.
Now, we, her granddaughters, who also struggle in the precariousness of labor, we want their voice to resound loudly, the voice of women owners of industrial and artisanal knowledge, who have given their bodies, their youth and their productivity to the Factory.

香蕉人 / Banana man: yellow on the outside, white on the inside.
A prejudice carried by people of Chinese origin who are not from where they appear to be, one of the concepts that unites Junyi Sun and Bruce Lee.
Am I Bruce Lee is an investigation on identity from the points of connection and parallels that Junyi has with the popular character of the seventies, from the origin, personal development and professional career, to his ideals or desires.
In this tragicomic performance, dance and martial arts meet with the aim of exposing racism on stage. A journey that aims to make the audience reflect on the role we play in changing stereotypes and clichés rooted in our subconscious.

PUPPETS
CATERINA is the story of a grandmother who is unable to give away some of the objects that have accompanied her in the most important moments of her life and which she wants to get rid of. Throughout the show she will have to make a journey into her inner self to begin to heal all that she blocked in the past.
Caterina, the protagonist of our story, is a collage of recycled materials from our grandmothers, it represents a small tribute to them and to the lived experiences that we deposit in the objects, giving them personal and intimate meanings.
The proposal combines puppet theater, objects and text. Music is a main language within the piece, interpreted by a guitarist who intervenes on stage with original and live music.

They come to make us vibrate, this is their couple dance.

Jordi wakes up on a sandbox with a clear objective: To say “Goodbye”. A and B accompany him on this peculiar journey that lasts as long as the time between closing our eyes and falling asleep.
Our demons are (re)born, grow and fall asleep leaving a bitter taste in their wake. Grief, more often than not, has a circular shape and leaves us trapped like a hamster wheel. Luckily, we can always sleep.

L’Última Merda Col·lectiu
Festival Z Opening – The (less) out-of-place party of the Festival Z: friend, locate yourself
How many times have you wanted to do something and been told it was out of place? Have you pretended to be someone else so you could fit in? Do you feel out of place in the performing arts industry? Do you feel out of place at a Generation Z festival? If obscene is that which is out of the scene, what are the current obscenities of our sector?
L’Última Merda Col·lectiu will kick off this year’s edition of Festival Z, summoning us to a party to assume that, my friends, we are all out of place in our adult, artistic and supposedly functional lives. During an afternoon, we will connect with our most playful side and celebrate the “outside” as a place from where to live and see our world. There will be musical moments, chafing, matches, games and many more surprises!
L’Última Merda is a group of four young people wandering through this endogamic, vitiated, precarious and hallucinating world of the performing arts. In response to the motto “don’t think, act!”, so common in the theater world, we believe that acting is the best way to think, and that listening is the best tool to build horizontally, collectively and inclusively the future we want for the sector. If you want to change things with us, come!
