Sr. Serrano // EUROPA part 7

www.srserrano.com

Introduction
We are perpetually reborning.
We must reborn from our ashes every day. We are like exhausted Phoenix, stuffed with medicines and silicone, with just one goal: crashing every day against ourselves. We are the power.
We are the power, we are the future. we are the sons and daughters of a new age. But we do not have a user guide and neither we know where to cling. So, we only have two options left: Wearing make-up or exploding.
And well do under one hymn, but which one?
In Europa, three actors-performers interact between themselves and the space, creating a succession of images and scenic situations where the main topic resurrection (along with the concept of eternal recurrence). During approximately one hour, Europa recreates an atmosphere of poetry and brutality, in which the actors-performers appeal directly to the audience.

Scenic conception
Europa (Autopsy 3rd part) is a piece of the so-called Visual Theatre. Physical theatre languages, dance, audiovisual media and computer controlled interacting influence the play. All these possibilities are introduced in a dramaturgy that unifies the whole of them in scene, in despite of the fragmentation. In this third part of the trilogy, we try to look for the meaning of the Resurrection, showing 3 performers acting and interacting in scene with situations, actions and objects-space.

Team Detail
In Europas team there are creators with very different training: music, dance, video programming, gestual theater and audiovisual media.
All of them belong to Agrupación Señor Serrano, a creative and heterogenean group, leaded by Alex Serrano, who creates scenic projects based on experimentation, playfulness and researching new languages.
