The main subject of the last research is marginality and its philosophical, political and social treatment in actual society.

We believe that there are crude and at the same time profound and poetic examples in marginality, which speak to us about culture, society and humanity… About us. It is in this marginality that the universe of our show is born, as well as in the relationship between the “ordinary members” of the society. The marginal, the social exclusion, in the context of this creation, it is not intented to be approached from a complaint issue or from an attempt to scenically portray a specific sector of marginality.

The focus is on what is energetic and dramatic in the margins of the socially accepted norm. We will deal with the (in)potence and (in)possibility of the marginal to exist, voluntary or by force, in the welfare state (or normality) as a power that accumulates in shomething that is about to happen or explode in a context.

We wonder what happens in the collective imagination when we absolutly ignore what is outside the boundaries of the standard. Probably, fear and intense demonization. But, on the other hand, we believe that fear also coexists with fascination, even absolute veneration for the characteristics that surround marginal universes.
