“In 1990, the residents of a small neighbourhood of Madrid, Cerro Belmonte, proclaimed their independence from Spain and were recognized by Cuba. It was their way of fighting against an unjust expropriation. When everything seems impossible, how many possibilities can we imagine? Atlantis is one of those possibilities, a form of dissent from which to build another world, or from which to rebuild ours”:
Los Bárbaros and Laura Liz Gil Echenique
Los Bárbaros tackle in their projects concepts that have to do with power, utopia and community. Their work flows from the everyday to the unexpected and poetic, creating spaces for dialogue and blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction. Directed by Javier Hernando and Miguel Rojo, they fluctuate between activism, theatrical spaces and museum spaces. Throughout their career they have followed three lines of work: plays for theatres, participative workshop-pieces and unique pieces, created in private spaces and that take place only once.
Laura Liz Gil Echenique is a playwright and visual artist whose plays range between writing and living arts. She is currently carrying out research into ways of coming together through creation, questioning places of enunciation, the relationship between public and private, identity and the generation of affective bonds. Since 2016 she is also a member of the “Traficantes” Artistic Group.
