Bàrbara Mestanza IN RESiDENCE at the School Escola Eixample
During this residency, I would like to focus on the concept of individual voice, carrying out a thorough investigation to identify what needs to be said and expressed, not only as individuals but also as a collective. In doing so, we will recognise its power and the responsibility that artistic creation brings to our environment. However, this will be achieved through play and the creation of a safe space where we can explore and learn about the world of autofiction. Autofiction is a creative universe that always aims to use personal experiences with confidence to generate fiction that transforms our own biographical experiences into useful art, which, no matter how specific it may be, becomes more universal for the audience. As such, we will learn from the ground up how to follow a creative path that has been very present in the theatre scene in recent years. To do so, we will draw on all the latest technological resources familiar to students. Through this process, we will see how our own tools can be used and be useful for theatrical creation. We will therefore understand that we need nothing more than what is already available to us to generate fiction capable of shaking up the existing paradigm.
