Tarsius

A production that tackles youth suicide through a parallel with tarsiers, primates that react in extreme ways to captivity. On stage, six young people trapped in absurd realities.

Tarsius compares these primates with six young people trapped in dehumanised and absurd realities, who end up joining their voices in a common cry at the limit of their existences. The piece questions the taboo surrounding death and suicide and argues for the need to talk about it in order to understand and prevent it.

Written by Lara Díez Quintanilla and directed by Ferran Carvajal. The cast includes Quim Gil, Daniel Mallorquín, Carla Moix, Gisel Morros, Tamara Ndong and Joan Lluís Terrassa.

After the performance there will be a talk with the company, with Anna Serra, movement assistant, and Cristina Castellà, intimacy coordinator, both from Mataró, taking part. The show is presented at the Teatre Monumental, a Mataró venue that hosts shows.
