New cycle of Katharsis begins at the Teatre Lliure

New Katharsis cycle begins at the Teatre Lliure The Katharsis cycle returns at the Teatre Lliure with six stage proposals that are part of the program for 2023. The Count of Torrefiel and other international and local artists come together to offer the public a different art that goes beyond interpretation, scenes and theater. Katharsis in its fourth edition, is formed by four cardinal points: contemplation, listening, recognition and judgment. The works break with the traditional and with the norms of scenic art. They arose from intuition and the desire to open spaces for artists who do not follow the traditional. The proposal is designed to be presented in two weeks and can be combined so that the spectators have a more complete experience. It is possible to attend all the plays in the same weekend. It is even possible to see two or three shows in the same day. Katharsis cycle at Teatre Lliure: an experience of extremes La Plaza In La Plaza, El Conde de Torrefiel brings a different show for its aesthetics and highly acclaimed by critics. The performances will take place on January 26th and 27th. La Plaza is the portrait of a landscape, of course, a square considered as the last front of resistance to the constant reality that disfigures the world today. Through this public space, the work shows realities of people and lives that are invisible. Worlds apart, but cohabiting on the same stage without even touching each other. Domestic Violence The work of Swedish artist Markus Öhrn comes to the Lliure through a format of a 5-hour performance that you can enter and leave. It shows how banal and brutal domestic violence is. The setting is simple and normal with a picture on the wall, a cuckoo clock, flowers on the table and white Ikea furniture. In this space, feelings and situations of pain, aggression and suffering emerge. They are the extremes of domestic violence: patterns, stereotypes and consequences. It will be presented on January 21 and 22 at 6 pm. Hapiness It shows the construction of artificial happiness gained through painkillers, drugs and antidepressants. The work to be presented until January 28, is by Dutch artist Dries Verhoeven where through an installation-performance in continuous session, the author shows a humanoid that dispenses in a pharmacy located in public space. It is the perfect combination between drugs and robotics, where artificiality and humanity merge. Tête-à-tête Stéphane Gladyszewski's play, which will be presented on January 22, has a format with passes for a single spectator and a presentation frequency of every half hour. It is a novelty where you can put your face in a mask embedded in a removable panel. And through headphones assembled to an ambient sound system, you can experience an immersive sound universe where a voice whispers the words of Octavio Paz's poem
