Societat Doctor Alonso IN RESiDENCE at the School Montjuïc

www.doctoralonso.org

Societat Doctor Alonso, a company directed by Tomas Aragay (stage director and playwright) and Sofia Asencio (dancer and choreographer), creates an artistic language from the fusion of theatre and dance. One of the key elements in this language is the concept of displacement. This involves taking something from its rightful place, sphere or space and then studying how this displacement modifies language, as regards both its constituent grammar and the interpretation that an observer may make of this. Moving something in order to reveal something. This manoeuvre of displacement has become an effective tool for generating spaces of poetic discourse that question the status quo that surrounds our understanding of reality.

The company's stage productions include text, physical work and choreographic concepts, and explore the public spaces and the relation between the body and dance to non-conventional sites.

As Societat Doctor Alonso, their creations include, amongst others, Tomorrow will be like today (2002), Shopping Bread (2003), Sobre la bellesa (2003), Santa Sofía, el solo d'una ignorant (2004), Sobre la mort (2005), El traspiés de Luisa (2006), Volumen II (2007), Retratos o si yo fuera (2008), El cuerpo colectivo (2009), Club Fernando Pessoa (2010), Ácido folklórico (2010), La Glorieta (2011), Introducció a la introducció (2012), La naturalesa i el seu tremolor (2013), El desenterrador (2013) and Andrei Rublev, una paniconografía (2014).

Institut Montjuïc took part in the fifth edition of EN RESiDÈNCiA (2013-2014), working with the artist Eduard Arbós, and in the sixth (2014-2015), with a project by Lua Coderch. A group of fourth year ESO compulsory secondary education pupils is taking part in this current edition.

/

The Institut Montjuïc has been serving Zona Franca for more than thirty years. Its participation in EN RESiDÈNCiA is linked to the desire to create more connections between the centre and the social and cultural agents of the neighbourhood and the city and, at the same time, to promote the artistic interests of its students.
