Research laboratory by Nuria Legarda
Research laboratory carried out in the Graner, Fabrica de creación, Barcelona City Council, within the programming of the 2017 Grec Festival.
This work explores the social construction of identity from a contemporary perspective and from an eminently visual stage format, where a narrative discourse is elaborated through image and movement.
The research contextualises contemporary values within socio-political and economic parameters, to observe and question ontological reality, and combine a diversity of disciplines such as movement, sound, light, scenography, projection, visual apparatus, and text. An interdisciplinary theatrical proposal, where elements are combined holistically, dispersing and recomposing themselves to generate new alchemy.

It’s hard to believe that such an accomplished piece came from a research laboratory. Not only visually, since the staging presented a range of wonderful ideas; the emotion and intention of the piece were even more powerful and not to mention the cast, who created an unforgettable experience. Nuria Legarda directs this piece with a know-how that immediately captures the audience and leaves them wanting more.
