Tras los pasos de Augusto Madeira Mendes (Los Bárbaros, 2020)

mediatized theatre,transpandemic stage

Inspired by the museographic representation of time through space, it traces the journey of the fictional Augusto Madeira Mendes in Ourique through stories, memories and photographs collected in the place itself years before, now captured on camera and mounted.

Based on Las imágenes posibles (2016), it covers both the creation process of the piece and the fictional journey of the invented character. To do this, live narration is combined with the taking of images, mostly in close-ups, which help to construct the story, assembled by means of montage. Gradually, the audience gets to know the protagonist until a final twist which, as proof that fiction can end up becoming reality, leads them to learn that the character really existed.

Premiered on 11 April 2020 online through Zoom in #AbadíaConfinada at Teatro de La Abadía in Madrid.
