Cosmos, which etymologically refers to both universe and order, seeks to be a virtual space which compiles all the information that contextualises the artistic and dramaturgic setting of our productions and residencies.
Cosmos uses a highly graphic collaborative digital dashboard which we make available to the public to visualise the entire universe of (inter)connections that explain what they see onstage. It is an expanded reality of the creative processes that arise in the theatre and seldom leave the privacy of the rehearsal rooms. We showcase the conceptual, methodological and artistic complexity behind a show, and we share it with the audience immediately, as well as with anyone interested in later discovering these processes based on a more scholarly curiosity. This content has immediate and lasting communicative value.
This device is a living archive that grows alongside the production process until the premiere. Then it will remain there as a permanent archive that can be consulted online. The public can browse this dramaturgic mandala and freely delve into the contexts and references around the shows. It is an element that seeks to combine the ludic appearance of the presentation with the rigour of the contents. Among other contents, you’ll find there a book and video library, playlists, audio interviews with the creative team (by Bernat Reher), own names, links, workbooks, related iconography and notes by the creators themselves, and their own dramaturgical material.
