Biography

We create technological performance experiences.
We combine two of the most important aspects of society today: technology and eco-consciousness. We believe that we cannot do without either of them at this moment in time, and although they may seem very distant and even contradictory concepts, both define our present.
We consider it necessary for proposals to emerge that manage to make these two worlds engage in dialogue. Therefore, we propose artistic experiences that include them, addressing challenges that are both exciting and necessary.

We have two on-tour performances, both awarded and recommended:
Words break bones, where a small group of people, with a mobile in their hand, enter into the forest at night. They will experience an introspective but also community encounter that will make them ponder on their (dis)connection with nature and the validity of our oral tradition in an eminently technological world.
The Value of Nothing, where, gathered in a natural space, the audience takes part in a tranquil coven, a ritual encounter where each person will read a surprising book and be led to reflect on the connections between the written word, witchcraft rituals, memory, and plant intelligence. An individual and collective experience.


Artistic project

Bad Weeds Grow Tall is an immersive street performance exploring the relationship between children, technology, and urban nature. It transforms young audiences from passive viewers into active participants, integrating screens, mobile devices, and interactive systems into a theatrical narrative.  
The performance questions how we interact with urban plant life—what we let grow, what we remove, and how nature resists control, much like the digital world, where content and interactions similarly resist control. Set in urban parks, it invites audiences to reconsider their relationship with both nature and technology. Through direct engagement with plant life and digital interfaces, participants experience the tension between control and spontaneity. Rather than isolating audiences in a scripted digital layer, the performance encourages full presence in their surroundings. It challenges whether children’s theatre can integrate technology without breaking immersion and whether digital tools can enhance focus rather than distract.  
The project also examines how adults regulate both children’s access to technology and nature’s presence in urban spaces. Just as weeds persist despite control, technology shapes childhood beyond restrictions. Bad Weeds Grow Tall invites audiences to rethink how we coexist with both the digital and natural worlds in a more conscious and sustainable way.
