El Conde de Torrefiel
Occupazione Sensibile — Esperimenti teatrali sussurrati a un edificio lirico
masterclass
September 8–9 | 4:00 — 9:00 pm
Laboratorio dei Cerchi del Teatro dell’Opera di Roma
The masterclass is aimed at artists and students.
Occupazione Sensibile — Esperimenti teatrali sussurrati a un edificio lirico is a practice to be developed through composition exercises, encouraging participants to utilize available materials such as bodies, space, and time. The objective is to investigate diverse theatrical possibilities by exploring viscosity in both mental and physical senses. The practice focuses on the performativity of materials, the rhythmic interplay woven through scenes, and the plasticity of language. These elements serve as focal points for exercises, training, and collaborative exploration.
Throughout the masterclass, emphasis is placed on delving into the imaginative and tangible qualities of images, collective consciousness, and imagination. Participants embark on a guided journey, navigating through theatrical exercises, discussions, and composition techniques aimed at deepening their understanding and perception of reality.

El Conde de Torrefiel is a project led by Tanya Beyeler and Pablo Gisbert, founded in 2010 and based in Barcelona. Their research has given life to an aesthetic that merges theatre, writing by bodies, literature, sound research and plastic arts in its exploration of the ambiguities of contemporary life. Among their main works, GUERRILLA (2016), LA PLAZA (2018), Una imagen interior (2022), La luz de un lago (2024). Their shows and installations toured theatres and festivals in America, Asia and above all Europe: the Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels, the Viennaer Festwochen in Vienna, the Festival d’Automne in Paris, the Festival GREC in Barcelona, Short Theatre in Rome, the MMCA in Seoul, the Museo Universitario del Chopo in Mexico, the Transámerique Festival in Montréal and the Festival d’Avignon, among others.
Tanya Beyeler (Lugano, 1980) moved from Switzerland to Spain when she was 20 to study Dramaturgy and Human Sciences in Barcelona – she graduated in Drama in 2005. She began to work in the field of textual theatre but time and experience brought her close to dance and performance.
Pablo Gisbert (Ontinyent, 1982) studied Philosophy at Valencia University and Dramaturgy in Madrid. He graduated in Dramaturgy from the Institut del Teatre of Barcelona in 2011. In the same year he was awarded with the National Accesit prize Marqués de Bradomín for his text A cinema burns and ten people are burned. In 2013 he was selected for the European dramaturgy platform Fabulamundi: playwriting Europe.
