In line with the commitment acquired last season to address the most recent events in Spanish history, La Abadía presents Rescoldos de paz, a documentary theatre trilogy on the violence and peace process in the Basque Country.
Proyecto 43-2, the group heading the project, have pursued two lines of work: an artistic dimension, based on investigation and the search for a unique stage language through a rigorous documentary process; and a didactic dimension, consisting of various activities aimed at young people, adults and special groups, in which theatre is employed as a means of transforming the conflict and instigating social change, based on the de-legitimisation of violence and the fostering of a culture of peace.
In the company’s shows, the emphasis is placed essentially on words and a desire to encounter others’ standpoints through a degree of emotional identification that transcends political issues and social contexts, giving rise to new approaches that go beyond social prejudices and constructions.
Proyecto 43-2 was the first show created by the company.
This piece arose from the Master’s thesis carried out by María San Miguel, the founder and producer of Proyecto 43-2, a piece of research that went beyond the academic realm and became a means with which to explore the transformative power of theatre.
