Tata Mala is a performance piece that, by vocation, avoids clichés but that does not give up on the idea of reaching everyone. It is designed to do just that. With a particular emphasis on music and a post-dramatic approach to staging, its charm may lie in the fact that at the same time it attempts to respect the meaning and even the aesthetic of popular and traditional culture.
The performers have been chosen for their skills and they appear as themselves (a colla falconera – traditional Catalan human pyramid - , musicians from various traditions, a performance artist and actors from different disciplines). With these “tools” the piece develops around the enaction of a ritual that will attempt to take a raw autobiographical text, that will be read as a thread linking the acts, to a symbolic plane.
We could say that, in its form, Tata Mala will address the relationship between curation (psychological and spiritual) and theatre and that its content will deal with that between the intimate world of the family and the political and social one around it.
All this leads us to a medium-large format piece, multi-disciplinary, with diverse, familiar elements (probably never before grouped together in this way) which is, in fact, quite direct and simple. Without artifice or scenery, full of true stories of evident damage; perhaps with more faith in humankind than in humans. In this way Tata Mala will try to reveal (and treat) the sickness of one individual, the individual, to unmask the culture that causes it.
