Latest project in residence

Constantino Martínez Martínez (2016) is a documentary and object-based theatre piece in which the particular becomes universal, through scenes and life anecdotes of the last inhabitant of a small, forgotten village and his grandson. The latter, living kilometers away from him, decides to investigate his rural past and to journey through fears, memories, and recollections, while questioning his identity and his role in life.
