Els Malnascuts
Sala Beckett’s workshop for collective creative practices
January – June 2024
Helena Tornero and Ewa Mikuła lead this theater laboratory for people from 16 to 35 years old, professional and non-professional, to experiment in any field of the living arts. The goal is to expand the frameworks on what we are used to working on, generate a space of risk and the discovery of new possibilities of expression. The focus of the workshop is the search for new languages and risk in creation, and the text functions as a basis to experiment around, deconstructing it, turning it around or using what may interest the participants.
