COMANDO DRAMATÚRXICO
Thursday 7 May 20:45h
Cidade da Cultura | Edificio CINC, Salón de convenciones
The Comando Dramatúrxico Dramaturgical Command observes, reflects on, and documents the festival from within. An expanded body accompanying artistic processes, collecting their traces, and offering real-time reflection. Combining criticism and writing with live mediation between artists and audiences, it turns observation into a creative act.
On Thursday, May 7, join the Comando Dramatúrxico to discuss Revealesence, the dramaturgy behind Escenas del cambio 2026 and Wondering Horizons, the artistic pilgrimage presented by Laura Aris and Jakob Jautz.
Before and after each performance, the command activates floating, improvised, open micro-conversations to share expectations, impressions, and emotions. A coffee or drink on Saturday morning, May 9, after La Calidesa, offers another chance to explore the stories of solitude and friendship conveyed by this performative installation.
Across the four festival days, the Comando Dramatúrxico analyzes, discusses, publishes, and translates events into multiple languages: texts, images, interviews, fanzines, and podcasts. Its presence on-site and online spreads performative thought beyond the stage, activating spaces for dialogue, encounter, and shared care.
