WHERE I WRITE FROM:

The relationship between the figure of branches and the figure of rattles in the second painting of Lorca's El público is worked on by Alexia Sayagó from the idea of ​​the expanded body. The theater allows him to role-play each character to address the tensions between individual and collective thought, between the first-person singular and the first-person plural. Branches and rattles are, for Sayagó, permeable individuals, with a fluid identity, without sex or gender. They are bodies in motion that affect each other and the reader/spectator. Therefore, the conversation is not only bidirectional but also omnidirectional. The public can pass.
