The Miracle Worker

The miracle worker emerges from the need of the company members to connect with their places of origin. Remembering, reimagining, rewriting, reliving... it only makes sense if we return to where it all began. After leaving the land and forming and maturing as artists away from it, far from their families and roots. "The Miracle Worker" seeks to create together with the idea of being on stage, of activating with the body this miraculous device that allows remembering, reliving, and continuing to live. It seeks to assemble a scenic device capable of continuing to work the miracle, working on the concepts of home, family, memory, forgiveness, reinterpretation, representation, guilt, and miracle from a physical perspective. It contrasts the work with live video in unconventional spaces.

The miracle worker is a creation project of the Madrid-based company Desgarradura that arises from the need to connect with the place of origin, after leaving the land and forming and maturing outside of it, far from their families and roots, with the intention of building a scenic device capable of imagining the miracle of reunion.
