Winning work 2020:
"Useless)" of the young company l'Absurda
The company consists of Jordi Casado (director and playwright), Neus Soler i Paula Segura (actresses), the three graduates of theEòlia ESAD.
Apart from that, they also form the project Aina Juanet (production) i Carlota Masvidal (scenography). "In (Useful)", according to the company, wants to be a reflection on the need for belief. The usefulness of stories in the face of a system that for many years has discredited them but at the same time has exploited them for their benefit. A show that returns to myths and stories their power to face panic (even for a while!) And then leave them in the storage room again, until we need them again.
