Project

My desire is to co-direct the project by providing various materials and dynamics in order to accompany the authors towards the play under the play they think they want to write.

Sharing the methodology that Albert Tola and I have been enjoying for ten years in our theater company Nigredo. A work discipline born in a specific parallel path along the way during the creative processes of the author and the actor.

We will propose various starting points, such as the confluence of the three great monotheistic religions and the various cultures in areas such as alchemy, theology and science (symbolically so well represented by the figure of Ramon Llull and the institution we are working in) or colonialism and postcolonialism, sea voyages for all kinds of reasons (social, political, emotional, mythical, etc.). These are themes that can possibly emerge under the umbrella of a common dramaturgical trigger that we propose: to write what cannot be said from my specific shore of the Mediterranean Sea..

We will thus pursue the creation of a dramatic constellation: the writing of theatrical pieces (short or not) that mirror each other. An author from each of these latitudes will meet with the others to jointly investigate dramaturgical spaces, contaminating writings and historical and contemporary themes seen in a polyhedron from the different coasts of the sea that unites us, Spanish people and the people from the rest of the mediterranean countries..

Throughout the residency we will apply a polluting methodology in order to obtain four Mediterranean poems that will be edited as theatrical works in a specialized publication.
