I felt a Funeral, in my Brain combines dance, puppetry, wood, and the spoken word to explore identity, matter, and the spaces between the living and the inert.

At the center of the stage, a large pine trunk becomes a house, a refuge, a burden, and a coffin. This object, heavy with time and memory, engages in a dialogue with the performer’s body, which moves it, supports it, and confronts it. It is accompanied by a wooden puppet that functions as an alter ego, a conscience, or an inner voice.

The show offers an intimate journey that reflects on life, death, and the construction of the self, while questioning imposed roles. It creates a space where body, matter, and time converge to generate open-ended questions.

AARGH! is a humorous dance-theatre piece that explores the scream as a point of tension between conformity and radical freedom. The work delves into the fear of being judged when expressing oneself freely and the transformative power of finding one’s own voice. Through a visceral journey from silence to noise, the piece turns the scream into a tool for self-affirmation and emancipation.

What do Shrek, kebabs, and the Balkan War have in common? In this academic-festive, insightful, and self-parodic lecture, the poet and his friends explain what you encounter when you reach the end of language.

Using words and PowerPoint, slide by slide, we will talk about men, pop culture, psychoanalytic delusions, the history of a vanished country, mass tourism in grim settings, Shrek memes, the metaphysics of the history of gastronomy, erotic desire, princesses, Tomàs Molina, the pain of others, cemeteries, speed, genocide, poetry, castles, and fear.
