Five years ago, I had a panic attack. Just like that. I was just having a bath. I panicked about disappearing, about a huge void. Fear of nothingness. Since then, there’s been a filter inside me that obsesses me. It’s subtle, blurry; it’s in the way I perceive every single little instant. When I try to explain this to someone, I find it impossible, because this feeling inhabits the land of the intimate, in a sensorial threshold.
This is why I’m now taking German classes, I’ve bought a bathtub and an industrial freezer, I’ve begun to learn to scuba dive, I looked over and I whistled at the abyss, I called my grandma, my mother dried my hair, I cut my nails, I washed a dead body, I crossed a forest, three men observed me from a distance, I counted the time between a lightning bolt and a thunder clap, I crushed my bones, I bought bread, it rained and l let the bread get wet, I’ve chatted under water, my voice has aged, the ice has melted…
and I had a bath.
In 2019 I graduated in visual theatre at Institut del Teatre, a redoubt of freedom and experimentation at the institution. During the scholarship a few partners and I got together and formed Las Huecas collective. With them I co created Projecte ’92 (Antic Teatre) and Aquellas que no deben morir (Festival TNT 2021). In 2019, as my final degree project, I presented a version which is now premiering in Sâlmon Festival and it will be presented in Antic Teatre, Solo vine a bañarme. During that year I directed Cartografia del cos extrany from Maria Jové (Sala Planeta). In 2020 I founded Monte Isla, a company with whom I premiered Allí donde no estamos in 2021 (Espai Nyamnyam). Nowadays, Monte Isla is the resident company of TNT Festival with Donde empieza el bosque acaba el pueblo; and I am doing the director assistant in José y la Barcelona Disidente from Lalinea (Teatre Lliure).
As a professional I am interested in arts based in the periferics and in the most essentialist version of theatre: the craftsmanship as a fictional analog technique. One of my goals is to decentralise contemporary theatre from cities.
