Èxit o exit

Physical theatre piece in which two actresses who have been friends for years prepare their third show and ask what it means to succeed in the performing arts. Directed by Alfonso Barón at DAU al Sec.

Two actresses who have known each other all their lives are preparing their third production and, while they do so, question the idea of success in a sector marked by precarity and the violence of competition. The piece draws on body language, on a word that looks at itself and on the absurd to examine the extent to which that aspiration distances performers from their authenticity, and raises the question of what it means to be free in an environment that tries to define us.

The staging is by Alfonso Barón, with Andrea Eraso and Lisa Reventós in the cast. Triny Reinoso serves as assistant director and movement coach, and Leandro Arecco collaborates on the dramaturgy. The texts are by Alfonso Barón, DueTeatre, Leandro Arecco and Gemma Pichot, the music is by Eloy Vicario and Juan Ferrer, and the sound design is by Eloi Sayrach.

The performance is given in Catalan and Spanish at DAU al Sec, a Barcelona theatre that hosts this physical theatre production.
