La gaseosa de ácido eléctrico (The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test) is an experimental stage project that develops horizontal work tools and investigates collective intelligence methods. It is carried out by a group of women about the age of 60. We started the process by exploring the subject of love but soon we agreed it would be more interesting to focus on the here and now. The project has developed its own strategic approach to experimental stage arts and popular culture which has nourished the work with body and space, text and narration, accents and languages, playwriting and meta-fiction, soundscapes and stage design. This has allowed us to explore numerous contemporary artistic disciplines and make a call to thinking as action. The work has been structured into four workshops that made it possible to inve stigate various aspects of stage development: Writing and acting workshops; Soundscape design workshop; and Stage design workshop.
The piece combines three spaces: the dining hall, the kitchen and meta-fiction. We have not aimed to reach a final conclusion or a finished, polished work. The work process is undoubtedly what is most fascinating.
*Free entrance, pick up your tickets half an hour before the presentation.
