This work was selected at the 8th Muestra de Creación Escénica SURGE MADRID in the Autumn and had the artistic accompaniment of Carlos Sarrió and Carmen Werner.
Since last year, the Muestra de Creación Escénica SURGE MADRID, along with the Artistic Direction of the Festival de Otoño, started up a section dedicated exclusively to works by new companies and creators. SURGE MADRID opened the doors to seven works that will be shown to the public in a single session.
One of the proposals selected was that of Carlos Pulpón and his production structure, Quemar las Naves. This performative talk has been in progress and been nourished for several years now, with tests, showing the work in progress several times and testimonies collected through which Pulpón calls a self-theatre piece, where viewers fill out a survey on sexual violence. These testimonies were compiled in Nunca nadie: el informe (click here if you want to see Never Nobody: the Report ) and it is one more column in this building where we’re going to find references to Twin Peaks, a type of self-fiction ‘played out with intensity and wit, talent, honesty and ethical questioning’.
Everything acclaimed to talk about that which we didn’t want to have to talk about, but the modern day insists on reminding us that it’s relevant to talk about sexual violence, which women suffer from a lot, but homosexuals just as much… ‘I’ve been totally avoiding it, but… in the end, I hate pieces about queers and this is my piece about queers.’
