RIO — Icons of a movement which, between the years 1970 and 1980, took the theater of the box, scenic and brought him to large audiences in Spain, the Catalan group La Fura Dels Baud began in São Paulo last week, a tour that comes tonight to the River, in the Warehouse of Utopia, where they present the show ‘ M. U. R. S." until the next Tuesday, in sessions free of charge. The work arrives in the city with the promise of seduce the public to reflect on the walls or the invisible barriers of today. And also about how we interact with the technology offered all the time by companies increasingly technological — however, it will be that socially capable of generating well-being? The relationship between human beings and intelli gences digital structure the work in different environments, each linked to a theme contemporary:
— at The time of the French Revolution, for example, the main concepts handled were liberty, fraternity and equality. Concepts that have changed or attempted to change the social relations — says Pep Gatell, who signs the direction of "M. U. R. S." to the side of Pera Tantiñà and Carlus Padrissa. — However, these principles, so important to human society, seem to have been abandoned and deteriorating. Today, we believe that well-being, security, money, and ecology are the four main concepts operated by the company.
To make the audience relate with the themes, the group merges the strategies of direct interaction, between the actors and the audience, and interaction mediated by technology, thanks to a mobile application that the viewer can use, turning the piece into a "smartshow", as defined Gatell:
— Always have developed a new technology for each show. We decided to work with mobile phones to realize that, despite being designed for personal use, they could generate a collective game, a way of socializing experiences, and to reflect on the use we make of them, and which companies make them.
The director reinforces that operate in the cellular information each time more personal, without noting that these data will be used by Google, Facebook etc., for their own interests and business.
The search for a theatre participatory aims experiences unusual is one of the brands of the group. Since its foundation, in 1979, the Sticks have worked constantly with the creators of different disciplines, such as engineers, architects and scientists in order to create laboratories between them and the public. In the case of a company that seeks to expand the boundaries of theater, and the interactions between art, technology and science, it remains to be seen if the current concert brings discoveries such bold as the previous ones.
— I Believe that science is an ocean of ideas for the artistic creation, and technology can offer us tools to be very fun to interact with the public — argues the director.
