MUCHA MIERDA
work in progress
Mucha mierda, is about a woman narrating the most important roles of her career as a figurante, while showing the various skills she has learned along the way.
Meanwhile, she is setting up the stage for the next play she has been hired for, titled Mucha Mierda.
It is a work of autofiction—a retrospective on a journey in the theater world that uses the costume as a symbol, not only of the assumption of roles, but also as a metaphor for the erasure and disappearance of the individual and the body. It poetically reveals the sadness hidden behind what we don't see.

Realmente ahora no ya no
© Laura Iturralde
Realmente ahora no ya no explores notions of narrative, invisibility, expectation and how we question the authorship of our own work.
It is a renegotiation of the desire to narrate and to do so through other voices. The story is constructed from the rewriting of a dialogue about the experience lived after an almost theatrical event/performance of a work that ephemerally exists.
With the aim of investigating what remains after having attended the first part of Realmente ahora no ya no , which occurs at another time, in another place, and how we narrate the lived experience. Being this past event what marks the construction of the present.
Far from a stage performance, we witness something that invites us to listen, a sound sequence, a campfire, fragments of a conversation between M, L, N, F, A, L and O.

Times New Roman
Times new Roman explores the surfacing of the area as a measured momentum, a temporal appearance, stating the conditions of unannounced plays. This could be a ship that one day drifts ashore from the extensive sea, or a hickey that left a symbolic mark on the lover’s skin. What does such ‘temporal’ emergence of an area signify and how do we interact with such a behaviour that acts like a phantom in space?

“The scars usually disappear with time. While they heal, you can use make-up to cover them. There are certain dermatological techniques that help make scars less visible. However, the treatment only improves the appearance of the scar, but does not erase it completely”
