An exploration of trauma through the scene
The fear of the skin, the new creation of the company La Beatriz, is not only a show, but a deep introspection on the bullying experiences that were marked by one of its founders, Eric Pons. Presented as a self -fiction, the work explores the duality between childhood and adulthood, revealing the wounds that persist over time.
A scenario that evokes childhood memories
Located in the heart of the Putxet and Farró district, the Gleva Theater has become an environment that evokes the school atmosphere. With a decoration that includes children’s graffiti and a hanging microphone, the stage becomes a space where the experiences of the past come to life. Pons, a casual dress, begins his monologue with a captivating performance, immediately connecting with the audience.
The Dance of the Emotions
Through choreographic movements, the actor explores the sounds and sensations of his body, creating an emotional symphony that goes from the sea to the wind, passing through moments of silence that speak of his vulnerability. This physical expression is complemented by a narrative that describes its environment, generating an intimate connection with the audience.
A journey to childhood
The work is articulated around an unexpected encounter with an old classmate who was a source of pain. This interaction serves as a catalyst for Pons to revise his childhood memories, where he presents a contrast between his adult version, marked by rigidity, and the child he was full of energy and insecurities.
The inner struggle
With a clear vision, the actor reveals the complexities of his past, including the pain and courage he ever had. This exploration not only seeks catharsis, but also opens a debate on the role of adults in the education system and the responsibility of not ignoring alarm signals.
An honest reflection of reality
Fear of the skin is presented as an honest work that has been developed over five years, incorporating elements of real life that enrich its narrative. It does not intend to recreate the trauma, it seeks to manage it and offer a perspective of hope. With a message that resonates with many, the work emphasizes the importance of communication and understanding in educational communities.
A promising theatrical future
Coinciding with the premiere of fear of skin, the creation of the Farró Theaters is announced, a new initiative that will allow expanding the cultural offer in the district. The factory, a new stage space that will open soon, represents an important step for the Barcelona theater community, increasing the options for access to art and culture.
With the promise of a postfunction dialogue with experts, this event is not only limited to the show, but also seeks to foster reflection and discussion around relevant social issues. Fear of the skin is not just a play, it is a stimulus for conversation and change.
