No hiding, no standing still, no running away. Nothing can end the sensation of cold sweat, hot face and the desire to be eaten by the earth.

Verecúndia is a clown piece where three women wiggle from their ridicule, expose themselves and relate to each other through their most primal shames and offer us their most vulnerable and generous side.

Tribut a les rates presents a universe of the absurd where Dolores and Angústia live, two evicted grandmothers who live inside two rubbish bins. One day, the protagonists decide to celebrate their last birthday in a fast food restaurant.

The piece aims to be a tribute to repulsion, and is born from the actresses’ need to connect with their future body and understand their ageing, in a context where women’s bodies are on everyone’s mouth.

I felt a Funeral, in my Brain, combines a pine trunk 2 metres high and 60 cm in diameter, a melodica, a wooden puppet and the body of a woman to create a dialogue between life and death.

This trunk, with 115 years of history, becomes the protagonist of an exploration in which the delicacy of bringing a puppet to life contrasts with the strength needed to move such an imposing element.

The project questions the idea of the ‘weaker sex’ and vindicates the resistance of female bodies in the face of physical labour.

Zooller is a street installation that talks about the folklorisation and depersonalisation suffered by the locals of Mallorca.

To do so, it presents us with Margalida, a human-sized puppet who finds herself enclosed in a Zoo cage where the living room of her house is installed and an informative sign: ‘Balearic autochthonous godmother’.

Kenopsia, from the Greek kenosis (emptiness) + opsia (to see).

Kenòpsia proposes a street performance, designed to be performed in the street in groups of two spectators, with the help of a map.

There is no longer any town or village where the plague of the hard surface square has not arrived. Architectural follies, urban planning frauds and political machinations have taken spaces away from citizens and handed them over to speculation, decadence or hostility.

Kenòpsia is the party of the neighbourhoods against the party of the big top. The recovery (if only for a few moments) of all those spaces that we were promised, but that have never become ours.

Solo vine a ver el jardín is a visual-sound installation that presents an apparently uninhabited garden where we can perceive the trace of an ancient life, the ghostly presence of a life that inhabits it, or the presage of a life that has yet to arrive.

By means of an immersive and interactive device, the installation explores how we relate to memory and the footprint we cause in the world when we are traversed by desire, pain, comfort and discomfort, and presents the need and the will to build new utopias, generating ephemeral and spectral spaces that unite past, present and future.

Playful, festive and performative presentation of six stage projects in pre-production phase. These are very different materials, hybrid proposals that move between text, circus, performance, punk concerts and conference with music.

The actresses Anna Miró and Antònia Tineo will be in charge of leading a morning full of surprises and also some jokes. This activity is recommended for all audiences: professionals and non-professionals, captious or not, people of all ages and interests.

Svetlana is the Barcelona duet that the country didn’t know it needed and is revolutionising the music scene with their fresh and provocative approach. Born in 2020, they have turned the scene upside down with their debut album MARRANA and a tour of more than 30 dates that has captivated audiences. Their live show is much more than a music concert; it is a vibrant spectacle that fuses theatrical, cabaret and vaudeville traditions, updated to the 21st century. With a unique electro-pop explosion that combines different styles from EDM to house, rumba and urban music such as dembow or reggaeton, Svetlana offers a spectacular staging and a genuine connection with the audience, bringing an air of renewal and irreverence that is long overdue in the country’s music!
