THE PLASTIC LANGUAGE OF EL CONDE DE TORREFIEL LEADS THE PUBLIC TO A VISUAL UNIVERSE WHERE WORD, IMAGE AND DANCE MERGE TOGETHER.

El Conde de Torrefiel, the artistic project headed by Pablo Gisbert and Tanya Beyele, presents its first proposal for children, Los protagonistas (The protagonists). Framed in a visual universe in which word, image and dance merge, this new creation is a journey through a scenography, guided by a text in audio format, hoping to conquer the smallest sensibilities from the elements and uses with which their world is configured today. The plastic language and the audio environment lead the exploring public to discover themselves as protagonists of this other world, designed to live a journey where the perception of one’s own body and the image of each person become a game. In this sense, Los protagonistas offers an unpretentious aesthetic experience, without intentionality or doctrines. This new work focuses on the value of imagination and complicity. The perceptual experience of the body itself in relation to the different installations, stands out by means of a scenic journey through fantastic environments, where the perception of each person is adulterated by the space surrounding it. The journey through the innards of this impossible world calls, as in an analog video game, for each person to participate and rely upon the small group of which they will form part. Like an expedition of explorers in search for a hidden and prodigious place, they will have at their disposal only a few tools and their capacity for imagination within a scenographic labyrinth.

EL CONDE DE TORREFIEL.
Artistic project directed by PABLO GISBERT & TANYA BEYELER. PABLO GISBERT. Its scenic pieces have a visual and textual aesthetic that results from an oscillation between literature, plastic arts and choreography. The company configures its pieces in the manner of an extensive ‘Essay of the Present’ that is divided into several installments. These are proposals that work the stage from an immediate temporality, formulating hypotheses that respond to the unknowns presented by the XXI century and the ways of representing them on stage.
