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.

#4 Death, old age and suicide
Have you ever wondered what your death will be like? Have you ever thought if the last years of your life? Will you spend your old age in a retirement home? Have you ever contemplated suicide? In a single chapter we will talk about topics that we constantly avoid. Three taboos Let's start with one of the few certainties we have, death. What equalizes everyone never appears in conversations and a good excuse can be provided, precisely, by plays such as "Those who do not die" by Las Huecas or "Sleeping City" by Pau Masaló and Irene Visa. But, before reaching the end of life, we also do not talk about the previous stage of most mortals, old age. We look away from it so much that it even gives rise to discrimination such as ageism. "Moriu-vos", the new "Culture and conflict" project, invites us to reflect on it. Finally, another taboo that we break is that of suicide. There are more and more people who consider that hiding it under silence does it no good, but that it is by talking about it and well, that we can prevent it. Two recent shows face him, "Harakiri" by Les Impuxibles and "Lacrimosa" by Bárbara Mestanza and Francesc Cuéllar. Will you join us for this walk that starts in a cemetery?

Alopècia Androgènica
Salvador Sunyer (son) has been the creator of the Temporada Alta festival spots for the last ten years. Coinciding with the thirtieth anniversary of the festival, Salvador has a daughter and does not see himself with the strength to continue being the same person he thought he was.
Alopècia Androgènica is the last short film he will make for this theater festival directed by his own father, with whom he shares a name and hairstyle.
#1 Based on true events
It's been years since reality entered the theaters and took over the stage. As has also happened with the rise of the essay in literature or the documentary in audiovisuals, creators and audiences have become interested in theater that speaks not only of reality but also of the present. Because? Do we need to understand the permanent crisis we live in? Has fiction distanced the theater from the spectator? Are we tired of the 'lies'? Is the theater the best space for collective reflection?
#6 Lorca, always valid
In the 21st century, not a year goes by that the works of Federico García Lorca do not set foot on our stages, always with public success and always with that validity that only true classics achieve. Why do Federico's words sound so close to us today? What made it so popular? What would you think of the readings and adaptations that are made today of his work? And the problems of access to culture that he already denounced and that we still suffer?

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?

#2 Contemporary creation
Labels always cause problems, especially when we want to label things that are difficult to label. Stage installations, the theater of objects or the so-called "theatre without theatre" are described with terms such as contemporary creation, new dramaturgies, multidisciplinary, hybrid... But the fact is that the performing arts are not always, by definition , contemporary, multidisciplinary and hybrid? We talk to three pairs of creators who have a lot to say on the subject. And that, in addition, they put on fantastic shows.
