Theatre anthropologist, theatre teacher, actress and founding member of El Trastero de las Artes. Originally from Buenos Aires and based in Barcelona for about 7 years.

Today we have the story of a woman who, while traveling with a theater company, decided to settle in this country. After years of living in Milan and Paris, she found in Barcelona a place where she felt welcomed by the city's warmth and quality, as well as a cultural scene that didn't go unnoticed from the start.

After a short time here, she decided to participate in the founding of a project called El Trastero de las Artes (The Arts Storage Room), which already boasts a series of activities and events that use art as a means of transformation, unification, and learning. Theater, dance, music, storytelling, and visual arts are some of the tools that make this purpose a reality.
These projects, supported by large institutions, have involved a great deal of work to make themselves known in a market that is not easy at first, but which has gradually gained credibility and good dissemination.

We can highlight projects like Mucha Mujer, which seeks the social integration of women in situations of social exclusion. Since 2010, this voice has existed for women whose stories converge into one, giving their all on stage. “Theater can be used as a tool to transform lives. Theater resonates much more deeply when you are the protagonist of your own story.”

It also participates in initiatives such as Temps per tu (Les Corts) where recreational and cultural activities are carried out for people with disabilities, thus giving personal time to their families and caregivers.
FEELING CATALONIA

Another proposal that has caught our attention is the Sensory Dinners, in which personalized proposals are made for different clients with a variable location.

This means that the experience of knowing a specific area, topic or time is taken to a journey with all the senses.

If we start from the premise that sight limits our ability to experience, this activity will enhance all the senses through drama as its main ingredient. Then there are the tastes, smells, and sounds that will accompany the evening, helping us to fully focus on the story, the moment, and the place where it unfolds. We've included some images to give you a better idea!
How do they do it?

When a theme or location is desired, extensive research is conducted, involving interviews with specialized chefs, historians, and anyone with relevant knowledge to ensure a focus on the city's history. There are no limits on the number of guests; each actor is assigned a small group to whom they will give their undivided attention and guidance throughout the experience, as it requires meticulous work and personalized care. For this reason, they employ actors who speak various languages, including Spanish, Catalan, Italian, French, and English.
So, if you want to delve deeper into the history and gastronomy of a place, we recommend organizing a sensory experience that's sure to be unforgettable! You can arrange a sensory dinner for friends, a party or celebration, or a corporate dinner or event. Don't hesitate to contact us. You can request a price quote with no obligation, and we'll offer you various options tailored to your needs.
