Cosmos 'Understory'

Map of the research of Xesca Salvà and Marc Villanueva Mir to build the Understory diptych. Illustration of Lynn Margulis' endosymbiosis theory and its relationship to James E. Lovelock’s Gaia hypothesis. Exposure of collaborative systems that sustain life on Earth. Complex cells, bacteria and fungi as examples of the richness of the microbiomes.

Cosmos, which etymologically refers equally to universe and order, wants to be a conceptual map that brings together the information that contextualizes the artistic and dramaturgical environment of our productions and residences. This device is drawn using a graphic and collaborative digital panel that we share with the audience to visualize the entire universe of (inter) connections that explain the production. An expanded reality of the creative processes of a show that, in general, do not leave the intimacy of the rehearsal rooms and that grows by accompanying the production until its premiere. We give value to the conceptual, methodological and artistic complexity behind a show and we share it with the public, as well as with those interested in discovering these processes with a more academic curiosity later. The public can navigate through this dramaturgical mandala and freely delve into contexts and references around the scenic proposal. An element that combines the playful aspect of the presentation with the rigor of content. You will find, among other contents, libraries and video libraries, playlists, the Barra Lliure podcast, personalities, links, workbooks, related iconography, quotes and notes from the creators themselves and own dramaturgical material.
