Many many different ways...

But this story, as every story, can be told in many different ways...

How can the perfomance of memory work creatively?

In January 2024 I was offering an ethnotheatre course because I was jobless. I was thinking of a way of paying rent, and the idea of finally getting paid for facilitating theatre processes seemed a good one. So, when this place in Montbau, Barcelona, offered me an artistic residency, I decided to open a call for people interested in learning ethnotheatre. I started delving into the topic myself, reading Johnny Saldaña pivotal work on the subject, and facilitated this process until May 2024. We wanted to work on something that was focusing on the neighbourhood, because as conscious leftist international activists, we thought we needed to give back something to the place. So, the group of elderly women of was doing gymnastics right before our time seemed a perfect group to work on for an ethnotheatre process. And that's what we did, we interviewed them and built a sort of script out of their stories. But then, as a good international uprooted group, most people just went somewhere else and left the project to do other things. But a new process has begun, and new people have joined.
