Core Team is a multidisciplinary collective motivated to combine and experiment with the tools we each bring, seeking alchemy that can encourage participation, connection and bonding in a sensitive way that can expand the limits of creativity.
The creative team consists of Rosita Luz Calvi, Quim Moya, Sergi Estebanell and Katarina Grbic, and a team of consultants from the fields of creativity, psychology, data science, technology, therapy, among others.
Sergi Estebanell is the project's artistic director, creative and performer.
He has been performing for more than 15 years, during which time he has focused his exploration in the areas of street theater, comedy and the use of unconventional spaces. He has created, directed and acted in more than 30 productions, which have toured to more than 25 countries. He is a director, producer and actor in several companies specializing in street theater and comedy, as well as site-specific theater and new dramaturgies. Highlights include Wandering Orquestra, with the show of the same name; coLabse, with whom he conceived and directed the show "Mesa para 2"; Fadunito, with whom he worked on the productions "+75" and "Adopted"; and Elèctric 28, an Austro-Catalan company specializing in site-specific theater with their show "Entre tazas."
Through it all, he has traveled the world and performed in the most prestigious street theater festivals in the world. In addition, he is co-founder of Kamchatka Company, a street theater company with over 350 performances to its credit in over 27 different countries. He is the founder of Barcelona's contemporary creation festival Escena Poblenou, and artistic director, clown and teacher of Barcelona's hospital clown organization, Pallapupas.
Acts of Liberation - Love for Free
Acts of Liberation - Love for Free is an artistic action, a sociological experiment, searching for new forms of relationship in the face of a narcissistic, individualistic and emotionally disconnected society. Would you kiss a stranger on the street? What about a hug? A real look?
Love for Free is about social distance, individualism, loneliness and the inability to relate to others. We are social beings who need contact with other people, we need to look at each other, touch each other, get closer, feel each other, hug and kiss each other more. In a narcissistic and individualistic society with high emotional disconnection, it is essential to look for new ways of relating that bring us closer, connect us and allow us to question what the new paradigm is in terms of how to relate to acquaintances and strangers.
This project is a paean to love as a possible solution for healing and transforming our fears and seeking new ways of relating to ourselves and others. Love is defended as a revolutionary artistic act and brought to the stage as an art capable of bringing us closer to ourselves and others.
Love for Free is a multicultural piece of social cohesion, diversity and inclusion, where the participants in the same action will be different people (people of different ages, cultures and social classes, invisible groups or people at social risk), all will be part of this community action.
