SocCos
SocCos is an immersive and interactive creation that explores the lack of communication of the human being, taking the body and technology as a reference.
SocCos explores the increasing isolation that society calls us to on many levels, even causing at times the isolation of ourselves.
The space plays with the concept of inside/outside at different scales: from inside/outside the physical/virtual world to inside/outside the body itself, passing through social relationships.
A mixed reality creation (Virtual Reality + Augmented Reality) that uses dramatic structures specific to the performing arts and takes the viewer as audience and performer at the same time.

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?

De quan tot filava quan filava
”De Quan Tot Filava quan Filava“ is a physical theatre project telling a story derived from creative and historical research, aiming to stimulate reflection and dialogue with the audience. The set of scenes brings you closer to the world of our past: women in textile colonies in Catalonia.
The textile colonies were a very important social entity for the region ending in the last century, marking an important shift in the social structure that still affects society today. The colonies offered security, but compromised certain freedoms. “Freedom with exceptions” is the theme of our research material, as we find similarities between then and now, in which the strive for security compromises our freedom.
During our research, we found that women’s experience in the colonies was flagrant and became our main focus. Although they were the engine of the colonies, there was not equality with men, in regards to their rights and salaries. Children were also exploited through hidden child labour, which occurred just a few decades ago.

No country for old myth
Five myths have been closed in their spaces for centuries, feeling the time goes by.
They are now opening their doors to the world for a brief moment, and the audience can visit them in the spaces where they were once trapped forever. Oedipus, Creont, Antigone, Medea, and Hamlet receive the visits in the hope that they will be released by anyone who visits them.
Through these myths, cia. Sargantana offers us a reflection on today’s society, on current politics, on the human being we have become. On justice.

Ball d’hivern
It proposes a double contact with the scene: live communication and Twitter communication between the audience and characters during the performance.
An eternal dance that transports us to an unreal space but at the same time very well-known: the winter inside us.
5 characters from different eras caught in a dance try to escape from what one day led them to enter. Waiting for a security that will allow them to go out and recapture what they left one day stuck – their lives – they keep on dancing. All you can do is dance, give up.
5 testimonials about one idea: Why does winter settle inside us? What do they have in common 1714 and World War I? And George Orwell with 1714? And us with all this? What if the rhythm stops?

Pel corrent del temps
2013 Capital cultural de Catalunya opening.
“Standing in the present, with the memory in the past and the gaze fixed on the future.”
Pol (o les campanes)
Guess the riddle, a cat, seven lives, and a fish, with golden flakes. A room for both. A closed window: a dumb bell. The cat play with the fish. The fish, play with the cat. Every day, the cat walks by and the ticking of the bell rings throughout the room. And every day, the cat is back with the sharpest nails. The cat plays with the fish. The fish, play with the cat. One day, suddenly, the cat comes in hasty and he shows his teeth, and the fish jumps inside the cat’s mouth. Who will die?

Silent
Immersive and interactive experience about silence.
From birth to death, our relationship with silence changes and goes through many different stages.
Silent is an immersive and interactive proposal that explores the human relationship with silence. An approach to an ethereal universe, that of silence. A universe that runs away from what, for our society, is essential in every relationship: the image.
In a changing space that follows the interaction of the audience and starting from the greatest possible silence, we will experience 9 scenes that want to be a door to reflection on comfort, abandonment, hyperactivity, the absence of silence, the search for silence in the monotony, loneliness and forced silence, the impossibility of experiencing absolute silence or the last silence.
Like silence, which is never the same, this proposal is different and unrepeatable in each presentation.
The actions of the spectators-listeners will build a different universe each time. It will be the relationship with the sound and silence of each of the participants that will define the experience of each sequence. Sometimes individual desires will define the universe of the entire group of viewers. And, as in life, sometimes group decisions will prevail over individual wishes.
In a space where image and sound surround you, will you be able to live in silence and stillness?
