Ana Elisa Fernández's performance: "El Círculo que Gira"



Last month I receive an unexpected e-mail from an old colleague and friend with whom I shared one of my most explosive creative seasons in my life, my years in Escenología, between 1992 and 1994 (1).

Even those years didn't finish with any spectacle they inevitably gave us a strong mark in our future theatrical work: a deep knowledge about physical actions and physical training for the stage.

This Blog was the way Ana Elisa found me again, and after some words trying to give each other an update on our life we started to gave an update on our current plans and work. She sent to me some photographs of her spectacle and wrote to me some interesting thoughts.

Here some words from her:

"In remember that time at Escenología in a distant manner, almost as if I had lived it in a different lifetime, but I realise that on my training, on stage, it served as platform for growing and for developing a self conscience. Of course, I see it in a totally subjective way, after all, that's what theatre is about; to aknowledge your history and to celebrate it on stage."

("Yo percibo de forma lejana aquel tiempo en Escenología, casi, casi como si hubiera sido en otra vida, pero en mis entrenamientos, en escena, me doy cuenta que me sirvió de plataforma para desarrollar un crecimiento y una conciencia de mí misma. Claro que también lo veo de forma absolutamente subjetiva, finalmente eso es el teatro: asumir tu historia y celebrarla en escena.")

So, here a few photographs from her last spectacle "El Círculo que Gira" based on "The Dolls House":
