WE HAVE REACHED OUR GOAL OF 10.000 TO RENT THE THEATRE IN AVIGNON! THANK YOU ALL VERY, VERY MUCH! IT'S A DREAM COMING TRUE! WE STILL HAVE TIME LEFT AND DECIDED TO SET A SECOND GOAL: 2000 EUROS MORE TO FINANCE THE TRANSPORT OF 15 OF US, ALL THE TECHNICAL EQUIPMENT AND SCENERY OF BOTH HAMLETOLOGIA AND QUIEN VA, FROM BARCELONA TO AVIGNON! SPREAD THE WORD, YOU CAN STILL SUPPORT US!!! VIVA EL TEATRO, YES, YES, YES!!!!!

About us

The company was created at the bosom of Laboratorio, a school for dramatic corporal expression, a 17 year old experimental theatre school based in Barcelona, under Jessica Walker's direction.  After the academic process, 16 students and the director, herself, started creating professional plays and showing them in festivals, such as Almagro OFF (2014) and CENIT (2015).

Now we have decided to go through an adventure and cross the border, we will take two adaptations, completely different each from the other, of William Shakespeare's Hamlet,  to the 
51st edition of the Avignon OFF Festival, on July 2016. 

The plays are:

¡QUIÉN VA!, An enraged and irreverent vision of Hamlet, in a sort of Café Müller, with a heartbreaking Misse en scene, melancholic and ill-fated, where the lingering question is "Who inhabits our soul?"
.

HAMLETOLOGÍA, A deconstructed play where the actors and musicians break constantly the meta-theatre language to perform a a most honest tribute to William Shakespeare, to Hamlet characters, and to the actor's profession with a main topic: the orphanhood we all face. The director, herself, talks about the play..

Where does the contribution go? 

Avignon OFF Festival is a huge opportunity for all the theatre companies who participate, but the organization does not take any responsibility for the costs of living and acting during the whole month the festival takes place. This means, we have to assume the rental the theatre for a month (10,000€), accommodation for 16 people (9,000€), plus food, travel expenses (Barcelona-Avignon-Barcelona), and marketing prints (posters, flyers, hand programs), up to a total budget of 26,000€.


The objective of this Verkami is to gather the 10,000€ we need to pay for rental of the theatre (College de la Salle), the rest will be provided by ourselves , entrances to our spring shows, a workshop by the director and merchandising products.

About the rewards

We know this Verkami is different because we can not take our sponsors to Avignon, that's why we offer a list of heart-thought rewards to share our experience and thank all your support: tickets to our shows in Barcelona, a Documentary about our experience in Avignon OFF, t-shirts, tote bags, notebooks, workshops with the director and even a dinner with the whole company. Any appreciation will not be enough to show our gratitude!
