Cristian Plana | No despiertes a los niños
The young couple doesn't like it anymore. Outwardly they play the part of the perfect family, but the relationship is not as fairytale as hoped. A dark game slowly develops between the two, a perilous journey into the desires they had as children. The performance made a big impression last year at the Santiago A Mil festival, which shows the South American vanguard.

Michelle Ellsworth | Preparation for the Obsolescence of the Y Chromosome
Men are completely superfluous creatures. Moreover, it turns out that there are fewer and fewer of them, so there comes a time when the women have to manage on their own. Using science, humor, and helpful tools (like the male stare simulator), Ellsworth explains what we're going to miss if the Y chromosome does indeed disappear.

Taoufiq Izeddiou | And Alerte
What attracts people so much to the spiritual or the divine? Why do they throw themselves so diligently into something you can't see at all? Choreographer and dancer Taoufiq Izeddiou searched for the appeal of religion, for the age-old wisdom it contains and for the threat of violence that also lurks behind it. In his performance En Alerte, he converts these two sides into movement and sound, accompanied by two musicians.
