Poeta [perdido] en Nueva York. Play

When: Thursday 7th November at 7:30 pm

Author: Federico García Lorca – Jesús Torres

Director: Jesús Torres

Cast: Jesús Torres

Producer: El Aedo Teatro

Suitable for 14+

Running Time: 80 min followed by a Q&A in English and Spanish

Play in Spanish. A scene-by-scene synopsis in English will be available.

No interval

Venue: St John’s Hoxton, Pitfield St, London, N1 6NP  View map

Synopsis:

Neruda said that “to understand Lorca you don’t have to study him; “You have to love Lorca to understand him.” And that is the premise of this new project by El Aedo Teatro, led by the Andalusian actor, playwright and director Jesús Torres (Flour Fists, SGAE AutorExprés Award 2019).

POET [LOST] IN NEW YORK is a theatrical show based on the collection of poems by Federico García Lorca and the letters that the author himself sent to his family from New York. The text not only tells the story of Federico; It is the story of any young person who leaves his  omeland to travel to a big city where he can accept and find himself.

The show surprises with its staging, which combines music, acrobatics, poetry and video scenes.

This new project by El Aedo Teatro continues the line of research that, since 2008, it has been developing with multimedia theatrical shows, aimed at young spectators and adults, in which the video scene and poetic language acquire vital importance, as in “Flour Fists ” (2019), “The Gregor ́s Metamorphosis” (2022) or “The Monster of White Roses” (2023).

Like the rest of the company’s projects, the show is complemented with a video game and  bundant educational material.

The show will premiere in London on November 2024 and will be presented at the Extremadura Iberian Performing Arts Exhibition.

ES~

Sinopsis: Decía Neruda que “para entender a Lorca no hay que estudiarlo; hay que amar a Lorca para entenderlo”. Y esa es la premisa de este nuevo proyecto de El Aedo Teatro, capitaneado por el actor, dramaturgo y director andaluz Jesús Torres (Puños de harina, Premio SGAE AutorExprés 2019).
“POETA [PERDIDO] EN NUEVA YORK” es un espectáculo teatral basado en el poemario de Federico García Lorca y las cartas que el propio autor envió a su familia desde Nueva York. El texto no solo cuenta la  historia de Federico; es la historia de cualquier joven que abandona su casa para viajar a una gran ciudad donde poder aceptarse y encontrarse a sí mismo. El espectáculo sorprende por su puesta en escena, que combina música, acrobacia, poesía y videoescena.
Este nuevo proyecto de El Aedo Teatro continúa la línea de investigación que, desde 2008, viene desarrollando con espectáculos teatrales multimedia, dirigidos a jóvenes espectadores y adultos, en los que la videoescena y el lenguaje poético adquieren vital importancia, como en “Puños de harina” (2019), “La metamorfosis de Gregor” 2022) o “El monstruo de White Roses” (2023). Al igual que el resto de proyectos de la compañía, el espectáculo se complementa con un videojuego y abundante material pedagógico. El espectáculo pasará por los Encuentros Te Veo antes de su estreno en Londres y su  presentación en la Muestra Ibérica de Artes Escénicas de Extremadura.

Friday 8th November

 Book your tickets here

Workshop: Ready to act.

When: Friday 8th November, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

Venue: St John’s Hoxton, Pitfield St, London, N1 6NP View map

Speaker: Nuria Legarda

In Spanish, with an interpreter in English

Important: As well as purchasing a ticket, please send a brief biography and statement (adressed to Nuria Legarda) regarding your motivation / interest in attending the workshop to admin@festelon.co.uk

A minimum of 8 participants are required to have signed up, in order for the workshop to take place. 20 is the maximum number of participants that can be accepted.

Brief Description

A systematised training to work your performing skills, exploring new emotional territories, from the body, from playing and from the creative impulse. 

Linking production after production means having to give results constantly, which can cause our body to enter a state of emptiness and stress. Without realising it, creativity ends up becoming simply producing. We may find ourselves with the uncomfortable impression of being grateful to be active, but having lost the pleasure of being creative is a sensation that surely runs ahead from what made us choose this profession: the vital energy of exploring and feeling free. Escaping from that feeling of pressure for the result is the basis of Nuria’s determination to seek strategies to cultivate a sustained creative state as an inexhaustible principle of pleasure. 

As a director and choreographer, she combines production with research, maintaining those spaces of search, no matter how minimal they may be, with the commitment to nurture the body-mind connection, to promote experimentation and to boost in each performer the state of freedom and creative pleasure.

With the aim that you can experiment beyond the resources you usually use and help you get out of familiar interpretive terrains, I propose this course with a series of exercises to awake the body “lookout”, and with staging situations designed for you to “transit’ from the idea of play as a procedure. You will be able to train your emotional range, and access that unlimited creative flow, essential in the acting discipline, just as an athlete, a musician or a dancer trains theirs. 

You will train your “commitment” with the rules of the game posed by the situation, allowing that, instead of speculating or psychologizing with it from the truthfulness of the ‘here and now’, you will let your emotional truth prevail and produce the illusion of what you ‘represent’ in a personal and unique way: your own. You wil also experience while performing a state of versatility, detail and creative freedom in the physical, mental and emotional connection and performance free from prejudice, allowing the pleasure of feeling in flow with your genuine creative impulse to guide you. 

Who is this workshop aimed at?

Actors and actresses; dancers, stage directors, professionals, those interested in being prepared for their performance and / or continuing to learn from it. 

About Nuria Legarda

Theatre director, choreographethaatte researcher, based in London and Barcelona, tackles the scene from the dramaturgy of the body and the image. Commitment to the expansion of potential meaning that is born from the coexistence of the elementsman & non-human in hybridization and its perposition of layers in a relational dramaturgy.

Programme

  • Expanding listening to the body. 
  • Increasing connection with inner drive. 
  • Practicing commitment to the rules of the game. Promoting the body-mind connection. 
  • Deploying emotional range from the stimuli that arise when committing to the rules of the game. 
  • Appropriating being present ‘moment by moment’, ‘here and now’. 
  • Accepting the natural arbitrariness of the nature of emotions. 
  • Detecting the limits and prejudices that arise when playing.

Limited places

A selection will be made based on a short biography and a sentence that speaks of your drive to take the course.

ES:

Descripción:

Un entrenamiento sistematizado para trabajar la disponibilidad como intérprete, explorando nuevos territorios emocionales, desde el cuerpo, el juego y el impulso creativo.
Enlazar producción tras producción, es tener que dar un resultado de manera constante, lo que puede hacer que nuestro cuerpo entre en un estado de vacío y estrés. Sin saber cómo lo creativo se acaba convirtiéndose en simplemente producir.
Podemos encontrarnos con la incómoda sensación de agradecer estar en activo, pero haber perdido el placer de crear, una sensación que seguramente se aleja de lo que nos hizo elegir esta profesión: la energía vital de explorar y sentirnos en libertad. Escapar de esa sensación de presión por el resultado, fundamenta el empeño de Nuria en buscar estrategias para cultivar un estado creativo constante como principio inagotable de placer. 
Como directora y coreógrafa combina la producción con la investigación, manteniendo esos espacios de búsqueda por mínimos que sean, con el compromiso de alimentar la conexión cuerpo-mente, de potenciar la experimentación y de impulsar en cada intérprete el estado de libertad y placer creativo.

¿A quién va dirigido?

Actores y actrices; bailarin@s, director@s profesionales, interesados en estar preparados para su actuación y/o seguir aprendiendo de ella.

Sobre Nuria Legarda

Directora teatral, coreógrafa e investigadora teatral, con sede en Londres y Barcelona, aborda la escena desde la dramaturgia del cuerpo y de la imagen. Apuesta por la expansión del significado potencial que nace de la convivencia de los elementos human & non-human en la hibridación y superposición de capas en una dramaturgia relacional.

Programa

• Ampliar la escucha del cuerpo.
• Aumentar la conexión con el impulso interno.
• Practicar el compromiso con la regla del juego.
Favorecer la conexión cuerpo-mente.
• Desplegar la disponibilidad emocional a partir de los estímulos

ahora’.
• Aceptar la arbitrariedad natural del carácter de las emociones.

juego.

Imbécil- Stand-Up comedy-Theatre

When: Friday 8th November at 7:30pm

Author: Alex O’dogherty

Art direction: Rafael Lucas y Alex O’dogherty

Cast: Alex O’dogherty

Producer: MPC management

Suitable for all ages

Running Time: 100 min followed by a Q&A

Show in Spanish. It will be followed by a Q&A in English and Spanish.

No interval

Venue: St John’s Hoxton, Pitfield St, London, N1 6NP  View map

Synopsis:

Why do words affect us so much? Alex O’Dogherty wonders in this funny monologue about the power of words.

Imbecile comes from the Latin and meant: fragile, weak and vulnerable. And he hates being like that! That is why, in this monologue, he is committed to talking about the power of words or, more specifically, about the power we have when we use them.

A word is just a collection of letters, but it can make you laugh, cry, be surprised, blush, fall in love, make you angry… Well, not the word, the person who uses it.

Together, we will try to find out if we can stop being affected by words, or if we are doomed to be perfect IMBECILES.

In this new show he talks about words, sweet words and swear words. Of what is said with words and what is said without them, of people’s ability to offend and to be offended, and of the right to be and to act the IMBECILE, which also means: Fool, clown, funny… And he loves to be like that!

ES~

Synopsis:
 
¿Por qué nos afectan tanto las palabras? Se pregunta Alex O’Dogherty en este divertido monólogo sobre el poder de las palabras.

Imbécil viene de “sin báculo” y significaba: frágil, débil y vulnerable. ¡Y él odia ser así! Por eso, en este monólogo, se ha propuesto hablar sobre el poder de las palabras, o más concretamente, sobre el poder que tenemos los que las usamos.

Una palabra es sólo una reunión de letras, pero puede hacerte reír, llorar, sorprenderte, sonrojarte, enamorarte, enfadarte… Bueno, la palabra   no,   la persona que la utiliza.

Trataremos juntos de descubrir si podemos conseguir que dejen de afectarnos las palabras, o si estamos condenados de por vida a ser unos perfectos IMBÉCILES.

En este nuevo espectáculo habla de las palabras, palabritas y palabrotas. De lo que se dice con palabras y de lo que se dice sin ellas, de la capacidad de la gente para ofender y para ofenderse, y del derecho a ser y a hacer el IMBÉCIL, que también significa: Tonto, payaso, divertido… ¡Y a él le encanta ser así!

Workshop: Star in your own Success: Strategy and Positioning for Emerging Theatre Companies

When: Saturday 9th November, 9:00 am to 1:00 pm

Venue: St John’s Hoxton, Pitfield St, London, N1 6NP View map

Speaker: Mariana González Roberts

In Spanish, with an interpreter in English.

Suitable for young creatives between 18 and 30 years old.

Brief Description

How do you go about accelerating your growth without getting lost on pathways that
work well for others? At the beginning of our careers it’s quite natural to follow
models that inspire us and help us find our way. However, if we’re not careful, this
can deflect our focus and shut down the very things that make us authentic. 
In this workshop, I invite you to explore strategies of successful artists and to adapt
them to your own creative style, your vision of success and your unique way of
communicating. 

What will we cover in this workshop?

1- Analysis of Models of Success: we’ll explore cases of successful artists in the
world of performing arts, identify strategies that can be used to stand out, career
pathways and the main distinguishing features of your personal framework.
2- Study of the personal brand: definition of the idea of success. Communication
style. Main distinguishing point on a creative level.
3- Personalised adaptation: by means of practical exercises I’ll help you take a
considered strategic framework and adapt it to your personal vision and strengths,
along with your creative and communicative style to best determine the steps to
follow that align with your identity and unique objectives.
Maximum participants: 6 (where being a Company is counted as one participant)

About Mariana González Roberts

With over 24 years of experience, I have dedicated my life to creating spaces for women
leaders to discover and take up real positions of authority. My mission is to dismantle
learned behaviours that lead many women to downplay or devalue their own achievements,
by helping them reclaim their rightful place with confidence and authenticity.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside hundreds of extraordinary
women: from successful entrepreneurs and political leaders to directors of cultural projects,
visionary businesswomen, corporate executives, celebrated artists, influential therapists and
strategic consultants. I have been a “backstage” witness of their professional lives,
understanding the complexities and unique challenges that confront women in their
professional journeys.

My specialisation is to identify and neutralise the internal “energy thieves” and the patterns
that constrain mindsets, thus impeding women from fully exercising their leadership,
validating their emotions and celebrating their successes. By means of best practice and
with a personalised approach, I’ve helped my clients to transform their thinking, strengthen
their self-esteem and deploy their full joy and brilliance.

ES:

Resumen

¿Cómo acelerar tu crecimiento sin perderte en caminos que funcionaron para otros? Al comienzo de nuestra carrera es natural seguir modelos que nos inspiran y nos ayudan a encontrar dirección. Sin embargo, si no somos cuidadosos, esto puede desviar nuestro enfoque y apagar lo que nos hace auténticos.

En este taller te invito a explorar las estrategias de artistas exitosos y adaptarlas a tu propio estilo creativo, tu visión de éxito y tu forma única de comunicarte.

¿Qué cubriremos en este taller? 

1- Análisis de Modelos de Éxito: exploraremos casos de artistas exitosos en el mundo de las artes escénicas identificando las estrategias que utilizaron para destacar, sus trayectorias y los principales diferenciadores de su marca personal.

2- Estudio de la propia marca: definición de idea de éxito. Estilo de Comunicación. Principal punto de diferenciación a nivel creativo.

3- Adaptación personalizada: a través de ejercicios prácticos te ayudaré a tomar un marco estratégico estudiado y adaptarlo a tu visión personal, tus fortalezas y tu estilo creativo y de comunicación para fijar pasos a seguir que se alineen con tu identidad y objetivos únicos.

Máximo de participantes: 6 (en el caso de ser una compañía se contará como un participante)

Información sobre Mariana González Roberts

Con más de 24 años de experiencia, he dedicado mi vida a crear espacios para que mujeres líderes descubran y ocupen su autoridad real. Mi misión es desarticular los hábitos aprendidos que llevan a muchas mujeres a empequeñecerse o desmerecer sus propios logros, ayudándolas a reclamar el lugar que les corresponde con confianza y autenticidad.

A lo largo de mi carrera, he tenido el privilegio de trabajar junto a cientos de mujeres extraordinarias: desde empresarias de éxito y líderes políticas hasta directoras de proyectos culturales, emprendedoras visionarias, ejecutivas corporativas, artistas reconocidas, terapeutas influyentes y consultoras estratégicas. He sido testigo del «detrás de escena» de sus vidas profesionales, entendiendo las complejidades y desafíos únicos que enfrentan las mujeres en su camino profesional.

Mi especialización es identificar y neutralizar los «ladrones de energía» internos y los patrones de mentalidad limitantes que impiden a las mujeres ejercer plenamente su liderazgo, validar sus emociones y celebrar sus éxitos. A través de prácticas probadas y un enfoque personalizado, he ayudado a mis clientas a transformar su mentalidad, fortalecer su autoestima y desplegar su alegría y su brillo.

Illuminate, Light of Metal. FesTeloff 2023 Winner. Play

When: Saturday 9th November 13:30

Author: Original Idea from Rebeca Sierra, and adaptation of first chapter of the novel Mr President by Miguel Angel Asturias

Director: Rebeca Sierra.

Cast: Rebeca Sierra performer, James Bentham musician. 

Producer: Che Sera Sera

Suitable for +12 years old

Running Time: 60 minutes followed by a Q&A in English & Spanish

In Spanish

Venue: St John’s Hoxton, Pitfield St, London, N1 6NP View map

Synopsis of the play:

It is a project that was born from two interests: the combination between architecture, movement, voice and mind, and the theme of dehumanization. On top of that, my love for the text Mr president by Miguel Angel de Asturias, and his language was a trigger to explore and incorporate.

The initial idea was presented to Festelon and the project won the contest in 2023 which has been a wonderful journey. “Alumbra, lumbre de alumbre” has its premiered in Festelon 2024. The product is still in research process, its dramaturgy and movement research has still long to go as at the moment there is not funding and we aim to deep into a further research for the connection between mind, body, architecture to talk about limits placed by people when differences are higher than understanding.

It is a poetical tale about humans’ relationship and how we treat each other’s when there are differences. It is a solo physical, textual, and sensory performance work where sound, music, voice, movement are in continuous communication throughout the story. It is a multirole work where puppetry has a main role. Story pretends to be a poetical tale that talks about the internal conflicts a brain deals with when two oppose elements are confronted and the choices can make. It is the embodiment of the internal constraints between showing dehumanising or humanising behaviours. We look at the choice to create a limit and its consequences such the isolation of minorities and the risk to essentializing human beings into boxes.

It is also a dialogue between what is seen or not, and what is inside and outside, audience is another character, is the witness and we aim to let audience to make their own reflections triggered by those limits and the ones that will separate them from the space to the stage.

Synopsis:

In 2024, Javier Rodriguez and Noelle Vanyi embarked on a musical journey to create a suite that would resonate beyond the cacophony of news and misinformation. Their collaboration, “Songs for a Fragile World”, addresses the pressing global challenges we face, including the gradual destruction of our Planet Earth.

This concert features four pieces from the suite. “Elegy” opens the program with a sombre hymn, a melancholic reflection on our delicate planet. As the suite progresses, “Underwater” emerges, utilising the “open piano” technique to mimic the rising waters that threaten our world.
“Shakti”, a tribute to healing feminine energy, symbolising water that gives life, nurtures, and sustains. This piece celebrates the power and resilience found in nature and humanity alike. Finally, the suite concludes with “An Anthem to Hope”, a collective choral piece that embodies the strength of unity and shared hope for a better future.
