With the aim of improving and developing as a group, this was Santentouritu’s first theatrical performance outside of showcases. Additionally, it has adopted a new system enabling more sustainable creation. To prevent the playwright being isolated at the initial creative stage (writing a play from scratch), and to explore an egalitarian creative system, for the first time as a group the new system saw two members in charge of writing and directing.

Santentouritu used an actor with a unique form of physicality (in terms of variation, tension, posture) as a guest performer so it could think about on-stage poses. It aimed for a stage work that combined the actor’s own consciousness with consciousness of the role, and mixed actual physical performance and lines.
