ALMA
Alma (soul) is a theatrical play that tells the story of Elisabeth, an actress that loses her voice while interpreting the play “Electra.” She is quickly whisked off to and treated in a hospital but doesn´t see any progress in her recovery.

There they form a very intimate relationship despite their very contrasting personalities. The staging is based on the Ingrid Bergman´s Persona.

100 Kilometers in 24 Hours
vía Deporadictos
Men (or women) cannot only live on beer, pinchos and fried calamari sándwiches. It´s also important to take care of our bodies through exercise. And what´s better than a no-competitive running race like “100 kilometers in 24 hours”? As its name indicates, the objective of the race is to complete this distance in a time frame of 24 hours. You can enter as one-person or participate in a team of two or three people. You can also compete by biking instead of running, but if biking you have to finish in 10 hours. Are you ready to sweat?
