1 00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:08,920 Our previous play was 2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,800 Anos 90. Nacimos para ser estrelas ('The 90s. We Were Born to Be Stars'). 3 00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,300 We worked with words, with poetic language, 4 00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:20,840 with the creation of images, with our own worlds. 5 00:00:22,900 --> 00:00:26,500 We worked a lot with words and music. 6 00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:30,800 We realised there was a generational component 7 00:00:32,500 --> 00:00:34,700 we were very interested in. 8 00:00:40,100 --> 00:00:43,500 We were interested in knowing exactly what defined our generation. 9 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,500 So as to have the feeling that all of us 10 00:00:50,300 --> 00:00:52,100 were involved in something 11 00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:53,900 and that there's something 12 00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:56,000 that's worth living for, 13 00:00:56,100 --> 00:00:57,600 that's worth fighting for 14 00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:01,600 and that there are common things that shape all of us 15 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,500 who are in our twenties. 16 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:04,500 Apart from that, 17 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,400 there's something that has to do with poetry - 18 00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:08,600 where do we find beauty, 19 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:09,800 what is youth, 20 00:01:09,900 --> 00:01:11,800 what strength do we see in it 21 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,600 that you can't find later, 22 00:01:13,700 --> 00:01:16,100 what things does that age give you, 23 00:01:16,300 --> 00:01:20,000 what freshness does it give you to start out, 24 00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:24,300 to build something solid that can't be built later. 25 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,500 That's basically it. 26 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,500 Our research is in that border 27 00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:06,900 between life, reality and theatre. 28 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,800 We've been creating so much intimacy for some time now. 29 00:02:17,900 --> 00:02:21,720 The word "intimacy" is the one that best defines this work. 30 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,500 Offering, sacrificing our privacy for others. 31 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,300 And inviting them to that place, 32 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,500 making them part of it, 33 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,200 of that room in that house 34 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,500 that we've always thought theatre to be. 35 00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:45,800 The idea of theatre being a house, a room, an assembly. 36 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000 Something that can be interrupted at any moment, 37 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,400 where things can happen in real time. 38 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,200 Actually, there are always things happening. 39 00:02:59,900 --> 00:03:02,900 We play and rehearse the accident. 40 00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:07,700 This play varies a lot depending on the space. 41 00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:11,600 There are many things that can happen in one way or another, 42 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,800 there are many improvised texts. 43 00:03:17,700 --> 00:03:19,900 Every time we do the piece 44 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,200 it's a different event. 45 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,350 That's important to us. 46 00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:27,640 Performing this play always makes us move forward in life, 47 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,800 There are some things we've always been talking about. 48 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,000 One of them is that learning to do theatre in Spain 49 00:04:01,100 --> 00:04:02,900 by seeing theatre is very difficult because, 50 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,500 apart from a number of very specific companies 51 00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:08,900 and a few authors, 52 00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:11,600 the theatre scene is, 53 00:04:14,250 --> 00:04:15,300 ,in general, 54 00:04:15,500 --> 00:04:17,100 not very interesting for us. 55 00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:21,200 We're more interested in people from Spain 56 00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:23,080 who work abroad than 57 00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:24,300 in those who work here. 58 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,700 We saw many films at school [the Spanish drama school RESAD], 59 00:04:33,700 --> 00:04:37,800 and there we used to work a lot on the concept of creation through music. 60 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:41,820 References for all of us. 61 00:04:42,700 --> 00:04:45,300 Oasis, Radiohead and others were sounding then, 62 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,300 and we thought it was important to put all 63 00:04:49,500 --> 00:04:52,360 that's in the air together through that. 64 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,600 We met in 2004, 65 00:05:36,300 --> 00:05:37,460 at RESAD in Madrid. 66 00:05:39,700 --> 00:05:42,000 Each one of us was in doing a different speciality 67 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:43,200 except for Celso and I, 68 00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,600 who were studying dramaturgy. 69 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,300 The work project was to be together, 70 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,400 live together 71 00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:53,680 and talk about everything. 72 00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:57,920 And this, which may be nothing, 73 00:05:58,100 --> 00:05:59,500 was everything for us, 74 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,880 and there's no other way we can explain our beginning. 75 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,560 There's something that makes us understand each other 76 00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:13,260 and work together. 77 00:06:18,500 --> 00:06:21,300 We made our first piece in 2006; 78 00:06:21,340 --> 00:06:22,100 its name was 79 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,600 A velocidade do pai, a velocidade da nai ('The Speed of the Father, the Speed of the Mother'). 80 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,000 We premiered in RESAD. 81 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,100 All three of us performed in that play, 82 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,300 but we always worked collectively 83 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,900 in the direction and the writing, 84 00:06:43,500 --> 00:06:46,000 though Celso and I wrote the first two plays. 85 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,060 Finally, nobody was absent from the direction or writing of this piece. 86 00:07:07,500 --> 00:07:10,906 That's why the concept of intimacy is so important, 87 00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:16,600 with no power games, 88 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,100 without anyone looking and others obeying. 89 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,900 There's where everything or almost everything lies for us. 90 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,200 That's the end. 91 00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:31,000 Actually, in our trajectory in theatre, 92 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,640 our peak was the creation of Anos 90; 93 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,000 it was the piece that we took throughout Madrid 94 00:07:39,850 --> 00:07:40,500 and Spain 95 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,300 we did 50 performances. 96 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:47,200 There were two monologues 97 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,200 that I think were very well built. 98 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,500 It was a very clear proposal, 99 00:07:56,700 --> 00:07:58,300 as it was much of a manifest 100 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000 and had been made having audiences from outside in mind.
