Aleix Fauró i Sierra (La Virgueria) IN RESiDENCE at the School Manuel Vázquez Montalbán

We live on an image-saturated society, ruled by the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words”. However, at a time when these images can be doctored and even faked, efforts should be made to downplay the importance of images and return to words, stories and lived experiences. Based on this belief and the need to alleviate the pressure that our own image and that of others exert on us, both on social media and in our daily lives, we would like to begin a creative process based on the students' own experiences, especially their critical perspective on the indiscriminate use of images and privacy in contemporary society. This process will open many avenues of inquiry. It is a process with a lot of ground to cover, and we still cannot say where it will take us. Along the way, we will develop our own perspective through artistic and theatrical experiences, using all the tools at our disposal to free ourselves from the pressure to be “normal”.
