- 11:00 > 11:30 Work In Progress Propaganda by Ana Luz Ormazábal
In this Chilean-German production, Ana Luz Ormazábal explores the concept of propaganda from various artistic perspectives while analyzing its historical evolutions and current impact on political and electoral discourse worldwide. This performance, featuring six actors on stage, aims to expand our critical view of (mis)information by investigating how propaganda techniques shape perceptions and maintain power dynamics across different cultures and historical periods. Propaganda is a co-production between the Centro Cultural Gabriela Mistral (Chile) and Theater und Orchester Heidelberg (Germany) and will premiere in October 2025 at the Heidelberg Theater.
- 11:30-12:30 Talk La Noche de Aparición with Désirée 0100 & Luis Miguel Ramirez Muñoz
In this talk, Désirée 0100 and Luis Miguel Ramirez Muñoz want to share the concept, development, and inspiration for their upcoming project La Noche de Aparición (The Night of Apparition), set to premiere in September 2025. This will be the second creation by Désirée and Luis, a clown and dance performance for three dancers. The performance will explore Mexican horror aesthetics and will consist of three chapters inspired by real folktales.
- 12:30 > 13:00 Work In Progress Qué funcione by Lucia Giannoni (performance)
This project is based on the concept of "belonging." Belonging as an act of survival, as a process of identity formation. It is a performative practice of social identity and coexistence, a sociological study, an empirical test, and a live field research in scenic form, focusing on diversity and the deconstruction of hegemonic structures. The project aims to highlight the similarities, tensions, and possibilities that arise when a group of people comes together. What part of ourselves do we leave behind to belong to a group? And what would we not be willing or able to give up in order to belong?

- 14:30 > 15:00 Work In Progress The Contemporary Political Landscape by Rodrigo Batista & Mariana Senne (18+)
Rodrigo Batista and Mariana Senne will present a series of theatrical improvisations connected to the first episode of their project titled The Contemporary Political Landscape.
Starting from the idea of theater as a tool to imagine and influence perceptions of reality, Rodrigo’s recent research reflects on a supposed contemporary reality (or realism), born in the Postmodern Era and shaped over the past six decades by the influence of the Neoliberal Regime. This regime has been marked by the misleading promises of free markets, individual subjectivity, and the privatization of life. As a result, we find ourselves in a landscape dominated by collective hallucinations that challenge established notions of truth, casting a pervasive shadow of doubt over our shared beliefs.
