La Tristura’s Brazilian tour is part of AC/E’s programme for Brazil 2014–2015 in collaboration with the Rio de Janeiro International Performing Arts Festival and Recife Theatre Festival.
At Tempo, the Rio de Janeiro International Performing Arts Festival, La Tristura is performing its work Materia Prima, the result of a long study begun in 2004 on inheritance, education and the future. La Tristura is performing both Materia Prima and El sur de Europa. Días de amor difíciles at Recife Theatre Festival.
Materia Prima(Raw material)
This show sets out to present beings as historical and political bodies laden with meaning from their birth. They are messengers, who in their infinite possibilities of becoming any man show us they we too are children; they teach us to remember and think. Will the historical and political awareness of these children be capable of frightening us? Will we find it odd to listen to them speaking like adults, or are we used to it all?
El sur de Europa. Días de amor difíciles(The south of Europe. Difficult days of love)
In 2009 the Claire Fontaine group wrote the maxim CAPITALISM KILLLS LOVE in large neon letters in a revealing artistic installation. This simple idea inspires one of the points of departure of El sur de Europa. Días de amor difíciles – three stories of love and rage that take place, perhaps even at the same time, in some beautiful and painful city in southern Europe.
La Tristura is a company formed by Itsaso Arana, Violeta Gil and Celso Giménez, professionals who, despite their youth, have been working in the performing arts for ten years. In 2011 they created Materia Prima, which was named the best novel show in Madrid at the Max awards and in 2013 they premiered El sur de Europa. Días de amor difíciles.
