Si Los Martes Fueran Viernes (SLMFV)

Si Los Martes Fueran Viernes (SLMFV) is a space for the creation and production of instantly composed stage pieces: An improvisation house. It was founded in October 2018 in Barcelona to create a space and a community around the study and practice of instant composition.

More than 150 national and international artists have participated in its productions and the following spaces have collaborated as stage territories: Mercat de les Flors, La Caldera Barcelona, L'animal a l'esquena, El Graner, l'Akasha Hub, Nau Bostik, Oracles Teatre , La Lleialtat Santsenca, Valid World Hall and Espronceda Institute of Art&Culture, among others.

Their productions include the series Los Capítulos de SLMFV (2018-2020), the cycle Los Cortos Viernes (2020/2021), the project Antes que se acabe el mundo (Argentina, 2022-2024), the Festival d'Improvisació Escènica ENEMIGOS ÍNTIMOS and Casa Nostra, co-produced with the Mercat de les Flors.

Alongside its stage projects, SLMFV has generated an open space for research and practice on instantaneous composition: The Laboratorios de Improvisación Escénica. These laboratories share and develop the project's own action methodology. The Labs have taken place in different venues in Barcelona, such as Graner, L'animal a l'esquena, Àrea Espai de Dansa i Creació, Nunart, Dau al Sec and Pla Roig, and also more recently, at the Out of The Toolbox festival in Gant, Belgium.
