Mar de fons (Deep Sea)
Iguana Teatre (Balearic Isles, Spain)
In 1936 Spanish Republican troops disembarked on the shores of Majorca
to recover the island, which had been taken over by the military. The
operation was a failure, and soon the Republicans were defeated in
retreat, leaving many comrades behind on the ground. Survivors were made
an example of, tortured, and executed. Mar de fons explores the
consequences of these events and the following repression, and how it
has affected Majorcan society. Documentary theatre based on real
testimonials of people involved in the Spanish Civil War and the
repression that followed. The Trial of God, Moscow, 1919, and subsequent
execution: the search for one’s own identity, the dynamics of power, and
the methods by which we are manipulated by the state. Through dance,
theatre and humour, we talk about power and the search for referents
when God is dead. inclusive, intergenerational, humorous poetic,
compelling, dance-theatre epic. Created by professional performers and
performers of diverse abilities. directed by Vero Cendoya and Israel
Solà, director of the company La Calòrica. Nominated for Spanish MAX
awards for best choreography, best show and best original music. Winner
of the Derek Award for Best Online Show, Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2021.
