HOUSE · Mother Three

We are in a house of two hundred square meters. High ceilings, oak wood floors and mahogany doors. Here on the left is the main living room, next to the precarious work. Later on veste a smaller living room full of dreams that you will never get. Kitchen in front of you, connected to the dining room of the friends you forgot on the way. Two bathrooms, as in the house that his mother has sold, both equipped with bathtubs and nostalgia. All very bright, unlike your future.

SOMETHING HAS ENTERED MY EYE · Imanol Epelde

We are, but we don’t know very well who. Building identity is not easy in an accelerated and globalized world. We are, but we don’t know very well where. We can be here and anywhere at the same time. We’re going, but we don’t know very well where. Not as an individual, as a people. What we cannot invent is the way we live in these changing times. SOMETHING HAS ENTERED MY EYE WITH UNORZ AND FIRMNESS, IT IS THE AUDIENCE THAT COMES TO SING AND TELL THESE TIMES. The show is a lyrics (with spoken word), a (electronic) song (created specifically), an audiovisual (projected on the screen).

TWO GLASSES ONE WATER · Square meters

Four people in the middle of a dance floor. Each one has a glass of water in his hand. The four are completely stagnant, while the DJ puts all the people around him to dance. This play is about the joy of the aftermath of abuse. The abuser steals the joy of a person who has been abused. Anyone who has been abused for any reason is questioned about their right to joy, even after being abused. We tell the story of four people trapped in the center of the dance floor, with depth and respect, but without saying it, in a cheerful way.

COLLAPSE · Jon Ander Urresti and Matxalen de Pedro

The three members of this advertising agency are capable of selling anything. Everything, even what you don’t need. Especially what you don’t need. They’ll throw you out and sell you a two-headed spoon saying you’ll eat faster. Or a rotating bed that will centrifuge the stress every night. Whatever it is. Cats for dogs and umbrellas for trees. People came to ask for blue wine in Rioja Alavesa after a campaign of them. But a last-minute incident turns the agency upside down. They only have to sell one thing: the desire not to buy more.
