Cántame un cuento

+6 / +9
A staged concert for family audiences explores the work and life of the celebrated Argentine author María Elena Walsh, framed within an inclusive stage design. Both in terms of stage aesthetics and performance, the project uses poetic and engaging language to convey the inexhaustible imagination present in the artist's work, the affection with which she wrote, and her unwavering commitment to childhood and human values. Humor is inevitably present, considering this surprising creator. As a cultural and educational initiative, the performances are accompanied by discussions and workshops open to local and diverse audiences, where visitors can experience this interdisciplinary and inclusive activity firsthand. This completes an extremely enriching experience of artistic, experiential, and active exchange.

The Vertebradas Artes Escénicas company emerged from the ongoing Inclusive Theater Workshop I direct, which I created in 2015 with the aim of deepening my understanding of the method of experiential theater, experimenting with acting techniques and collective creation. The stage language of our shows reflects this research and the fruit of nearly 20 years of uninterrupted work with people with intellectual and mental disabilities. A transversal language where each performer can express themselves based on their abilities, a quality inherent in the term "inclusion," which significantly enriches group expression. A cornerstone of the company's values, equality and inclusion underpin all our productions across the various professional areas. The creative and stage quality of these productions reflects the group's diversity and the benefits of difference.
