In the sequence of the measures approved by the Generalitat de Catalunya derived from the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, Antic Teatre – Espai de Creació postpone ANTES DE QUE TIRÉIS MIS COSAS until new warning.

Antes de que tiréis mis cosas is, in the last instance, a series of poems about bodies that are themselves possibilities, ideas, and songs. It’s about the identity of bodies, their sexuality and their dreams, desires, and lost memories; prose poems pierced by the celebration of song; not something sublime and perfect, harmonious and true, but rather wild songs, bursts of flame that reach into the darkness of the bedroom; dances that become kisses.
José de Monfort
Mondo Sonoro

In 2002 she travelled to Madrid and began studying English at Universidad Complutense, and performance at the Real Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático. In 2005 she met Itsaso, Pablo and Celso, with whom she founded their company La Tristura, which forged a speedy and soid trajectory in the field of Spanish theatre. She also created solo pieces. In 2015 she moved to Iowa City where she studied for a Masters in Creative Writing. She writes prose and poetry, and combines her studies with continued training in classic dance. Antes de que tiréis mis cosas (Arrebato Libros) is her first poetry collection.
