Diogenes garten
An immersive live virtual reality experience that invites the audience to journey through Europe as a promised land.
Diogenes Garten is a VR live performance with live performers that explores Europe as a shared idea, shaped by myths, narratives and movements of displacement. The work proposes an immersive journey in which the audience actively participates in the narrative, inhabiting a shared virtual space together with the performers.
The piece is the final chapter of the li/ea/ving trilogy, which focuses on the idea of the promised land. Through a hybrid performative dispositif—body, voice, technology and virtual space—the work reflects on migration, identity, belonging and displacement within the contemporary European context.
Diogenes Garten is the first virtual reality production with live performers created in Catalonia. It opens a new field of relationship between performance, technology and audience, where dramaturgy is constructed in real time through shared experience.

Diogenes garten
Una experiència immersiva de realitat virtual en directe que convida el públic a travessar Europa com a terra promesa.
Diogenes Garten és una VR live performance amb intèrprets en viu que explora Europa com a idea compartida, construïda a partir de mites, relats i desplaçaments. L’obra proposa un viatge immersiu on el públic participa activament en la narració, habitant un espai virtual compartit amb els intèrprets.
La peça forma part de la trilogia li/ea/ving, centrada en la idea de la terra promesa, i n’és el capítol final. A través d’un dispositiu escènic híbrid —cos, veu, tecnologia i espai virtual— l’obra reflexiona sobre migració, identitat, pertinença i desplaçament en el context europeu contemporani.
Diogenes Garten és la primera producció de realitat virtual amb intèrprets en directe creada a Catalunya, i obre un nou camp de relació entre escena, tecnologia i públic, on la dramatúrgia es construeix en temps real a partir de l’experiència compartida.

Scenes of an exodus
In Scenes of an exodus we enter the journey into the unknown. That moment when, after leaving “home” and hoping to reach the “promised land”, a period of uncertainty begins.
This performance explores the exodus of thousands of migrants, refugees, expatriates,… the transit from a well-known space to another that is expected to be safe, with the risk of surviving every obstacle, challenge and challenge.
A creation full of symbolism through physical work, acquiring a greater magnitude through the use of technology.

SocCos
An immersive and interactive mixed reality VR experience that explores contemporary disconnection through the body and technology.
SocCos is a mixed and virtual reality experience that investigates the growing isolation produced by contemporary society, both in our relationships with others and in our relationship with ourselves. The piece takes the body as a site of perception and tension, and technology as a device that amplifies this experience.
The space constantly works with the tension between inside and outside: inside and outside the physical and virtual worlds, inside and outside the body itself, and inside and outside social relationships. These overlapping layers create a sensory and conceptual experience that places the audience in a state of active presence.
SocCos uses dramaturgical structures drawn from the performing arts and places the spectator at the centre of the dispositif—as both audience and performer. The experience is not watched; it is inhabited.

SocCos
Experiència VR i MR, immersiva i interactiva, que explora la incomunicació contemporània a través del cos i la tecnologia.
SocCos és una proposta de realitat mixta, una experiència de VR que investiga l’aïllament creixent al qual ens condueix la societat actual, tant en les relacions amb els altres com en la relació amb nosaltres mateixos. L’obra pren el cos com a espai de conflicte i de percepció, i la tecnologia com a dispositiu que amplifica aquesta experiència.
L’espai treballa constantment amb la tensió dins/fora: dins i fora del món físic i virtual, dins i fora del propi cos, dins i fora de les relacions socials. Aquest joc de capes construeix una experiència sensorial i conceptual que situa l’espectador en un estat de presència activa.
SocCos utilitza estructures dramatúrgiques pròpies de les arts escèniques i converteix l’espectador en part central del dispositiu: públic i intèrpret alhora. L’experiència no es mira, s’habita.

Breus
At ciasargantana, we understand community-based creation as a long-term artistic and social process. We develop projects that connect performing arts, education and territory, with the aim of generating lasting bonds, collective empowerment and continuities that extend beyond a single project.
Our processes emerge from real contexts and work with diverse groups —young people, educational communities, people in vulnerable situations, or territories with limited cultural provision— activating spaces for expression, dialogue and participation through artistic practice.
Training is a central axis of this line of work. Through iam social courses, we share tools related to body, presence, voice and dramaturgy, adapted to community contexts. This training enables participants to develop their own artistic and expressive resources, and acts as both an entry point to and a driving force behind community-based creation processes.
The iam social courses are designed to foster autonomy and knowledge transfer, allowing processes to continue and be replicated without the constant presence of the company. Many of the projects and groups that later become part of Breus emerge directly from these training processes.
The creations that arise from these projects are based on real testimonies and contemporary social issues, and are collectively constructed, respecting the rhythms, limits and singularity of each community. Impact is measured not only through the artistic outcome, but also through the relationships built, the capacities developed and the networks activated.
This line of work is at the core of ciasargantana and is in constant dialogue with the scenic and technological research developed at Lanau7.
Active projects
BREUS + iam social
A long-term community-based creation project rooted in real testimonies and formative processes that generate continuity and networks within the territory.
FRACTAL
An artistic and technological training project for young people, focused on empowerment and the activation of new skills.
Lanau7
Where art becomes a tool for change: innovation, research and community.
Lanau7 is the art and technology laboratory of ciasargantana, located in Ripoll. It is a space for research, creation and experimentation where performing arts and digital technologies are placed in the service of new forms of relationship between body, space, technology and community.
From Lanau7 we develop artistic and technological research projects, our own and collaborative creations, laboratories and residencies, training programmes, and community-based and social creation projects. We understand art as a tool for empowerment and transformation, capable of generating dialogue, participation and real impact within the territory.
The space is conceived to adapt to different processes: sound and audiovisual research, immersive environments, virtual and augmented reality, interactive systems, streaming and hybrid formats. An open, flexible environment in close contact with nature, designed to foster concentration, listening and care for creative processes.
Lanau7 is an open space for artists, technologists and researchers. A place to test, investigate and share, and the foundation from which ciasargantana develops its research, creations and social action.

Expansion of the activity with the adaptation of a new industrial building.

Li/ea/ving – act I
In this “Act I”, we enter the intimacy of some particular cases, by entering their homes just before they ceases to be defined as such.
Migrants, refugees, expatriates … All under the label of immigrants in the countries of arrival, open the door to their humanity just before leaving it behind and becoming, perhaps, just one figure.
A site-specific journey inviting the audience to participate in the flight, not only by visiting the houses of our protagonists, but by taking an active role in the action.

La Plana
A dining room set on a small hill houses three characters who have made this space their home and their mutual company, a family.
One evening, as they are having dinner, the events surprise them. Everything that they could follow on television every day, invades and transforms their lives, and maybe those of a whole country.
To what extent are we ready to imagine a new political, social or economic system?
