Alex Cassal | Soluble Dramaturgy
August 31 to September 4, 2026 | 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Forum Dança
Registration open.
This workshop, led by playwright Alex Cassal, invites creators, performers, and artists of the body and word to embark on a somewhat bumpy journey behind the scenes of theatrical creation. Everyday anecdotes and extravagant inventions, implausible lies and personal memories, non-recyclable materials and organic waste: everything becomes raw material for a process that asserts itself as a journey, rather than a result. A process in which participants collaborate in the collective construction of fictions anchored in the reality of the present time, giving shape to a plot where diverse voices and perspectives intersect. More than a formal learning space, this encounter is proposed as a territory of sharing and risk, where writing intersects with performance and memory with imagination. Because, as Bertolt Brecht said, “it is beautiful to solve problems.” Or was it Donna Haraway?
