The latent voice
(first movement)
An actress, Raquel Ferri, gives birth. And an actress, Raquel Ferri, plays the night and day during which she gave birth.
Dreams can also be a matter of life or death. In this dream, the actress multiplies into different women, and prepares to give birth. And in some moment (from the past or the future) he relives the desires, the fears, the hopes, the friction of the bodies in transformation.
At the decisive moment of childbirth, real life and acting embrace and look into each other's eyes, just as it always does in our lives.

#3 The far right scene
The rise of the extreme right is a global phenomenon. On the European continent, it is being demonstrated with attacks on various groups by their violent factions, to electoral results that have even led to the presidency of the ultra parties of countries with so much weight in the European Union like Italy How is this reality transferred to theatrical settings? How should we respond from the current creation? How is democracy preserved? Is the anti-fascist position something for all democrats? We talk about it in this episode that aims to overcome hate speech.
Classic texts are part of our tradition and are never missing from festival and theater programs. Now, in the middle of the 21st century, perhaps the time has come to consider how we read and represent them. What do we make of their misogynistic, racist, LGBTI-phobic, classist and more messages, a product of the times and contexts in which they were written and, above all, how do we offer them to new generations, both in theaters and classrooms ? We talk about adaptations, revisions and subversions, always with a feminist perspective and a bit of punk.

THEATER
Is it legitimate to exercise violence in any situation? Can we use it for purely artistic purposes? Who can and with what intentions?
We have denied violence and that is why we no longer know how to react to it.
This hypothetical play or performance takes place in a train carriage, it is a real sequence shot, it takes the time just between two metro stops and you are its only spectator.
What will you do? What would you do? What are you doing?

Purgatory
Purgatory is a free interpretation of Purgatory. vrather than being like a mythological story about redemption. A cry in favor of the purge. A necessary purge to start over again, having learned from mistakes and pointing out culture as a powerful elevator capable of making the human soul soar.
And now what?
And now... And now... And now... And now what? What! Now… Now… Now…
A health, social and cultural crisis that has changed everything has placed us in the land of absolute uncertainty, but the arts have always moved and will move in crisis and uncertainty!
#7 Sondheim sings in Catalan
If we are lucky enough to have been able to enjoy some of Stephen Sondheim's musicals in Catalan, it is thanks to the passion and effort of some of our directors, performers and translators. One of the greatest musical composers of the 20th century has starred in glorious pages in the history of our theatre. "Gulf of Rome", "Sweeney Todd", "A Little Night Music", "Follies" or "Company" are some of the titles that appear in this conversation about music and theater, translation and language, craft and passion. A memory, a tribute... A party dedicated to the great Stephen Sondheim.

The Pleasure Island
A dangerous idea has taken hold: Culture is only for entertainment. It's a luxury. Because from the outside this place looks like a sunny amusement park? Maybe we sold ourselves badly and cheaply. Can we change it or is it useless? It is urgent to point the gun at us. If we consider culture as pure entertainment we will be Pinocchio on the island of pleasure. Playing, sleeping and laughing as we turn into donkeys that no longer serve only to carry stones.
