Ensayo
This is an artistic research project based on some humble gestures that have been overlooked by History and that promote small forms of resistance based on infraction, poetry, and the recovery of community ties. The project aims to invent genealogies and push other possibilities for a time to come. We want to use theatre as a testing ground to implement practices and thoughts that can help us establish a new way of relating to our past and imagining some future. Can live arts spark proposals that help us achieve good living? We believe that, in some way, yes.
