Universal

In uncertain times, taking on challenges is a path to hope. In Universal, the inhabitants of four planets outside the solar system have to work together to meet the challenge of providing a solution for planet Earth, which is on the brink of an abyss. This play has been created by students and teachers from four secondary schools in the city of Barcelona while as a society, we are dealing with a global pandemic and an ecological threat that has never been as tangible as it is today. We go in search of a mirror in which we can reflect our fears, our hopes, our imaginings, our ideas and dreams, needs, frustrations and desires. In search of a space to meet other people and the theatre, and to have a good time.

Escena Pilot is an educational and artistic project that accompanies a group of students and teachers from various public secondary schools in Barcelona during the school year. The project consists of the collective creation of a theatrical performance that will première at the Teatre Lliure, in order to foster theatrical language among young people and in school environments. The project is based on three pillars:

It is a training project for teachers, which gives teachers tools so that they are able to use the resources of theatrical techniques when working with students away from the project.

It is a co-creative project, in which students and teachers participate actively in order to have a meaningful experience in contact with the professional environment.

It is a project involving collective creation, in which the artist comes into contact with the young people’s social and educational reality, and is inspired by it to investigate theatrical creation and seek new theatrical languages in the production of a show.
