The triangle of ATRESBANDES Emerged from an artistic staff and meeting of minds Between Monica Almirall, Segovia and Albert Perez Miquel Hidalgo. In 2008 we decided to form a company. As the group has grown and developed so have the methods we use to approach the act of creation. Though Influenced by an enormous variety of disciplines, our work is characterised by a single constant: advocacy for a theater laboratory Where the process of collective creation is paramount. Friendship forms one side of the triangle, but coupled with doubt and uncertainty. We seek to question everything around us. This is the one thing That drives our approach to contemporary theater. The company is supported by the following single Collaborators and institutions: Oscar Palenque, Aitor Larrea, Sarah-Jane Watkinson ( outercirclearts.co.uk ), Felix Andrew, Nuria Segovia ( vesc.cat ), Federico Sancho, Benoit Laudenbach, Isabelle Laudenbach, Jose Miguel Galera, Juan Ayala, Maria Vera, DC Can Felipa , Sortidor CC, CC Navas, Theatre Institute , Institut Ramon Llull , Catalan ARTS! , Be Festival , MAC Birmingham .

Synopsis: | Every step we take, we are struggling to reach paradise. . .Locus Amoenus is a new work from award-winning Spanish company ATRESBANDES. It takes its title from a Latin term meaning "pleasant place", characterised in literature and visual arts as a sunlit woodland glade or meadow. The piece explores the notion of paradise through the meeting of three strangers travelling on a train. What they don't know is that in one hour, the train will crash and they will all die. Locus Amoenus describes our struggle to reach our own version of paradise. This struggle is a journey, and we often forget to look at the landscape along the way. | |||||

Synopsis: | What happens when your fear comes round for dinner, and your deepest, darkest thoughts refuse to lie low? Solfatara [def]: openings in volcanic terrain that emit hot, sulphurous gases. We are full of these geological phenomena, orifices that allow our insides to surface. Witty, fast paced and hilarious, a young couple's frustrations explode with catastrophic honesty as a masked figure dares them to voice their true feelings. Performed in Spanish with English surtitles, the translation takes on a subversive life of its own. | |||||
